Sorry I haven't posted too much during the past week, since I've been traveling and have just been running out of time. Among other things, I covered the Cable Show in DC, The AIIM Expo at the PA Convention Center, and the Entrepreneur Expo at the Science Center. Should be getting back up to speed tomorrow. Today my focus is on the basketball.
