  • The Color of My Parachute

    Everything about unemployment is wonderful… except for the lack of income. So, being one of many unemployed in the Tech industry, I've been trying to find a job.

The conference was well attended – 3800 people. The Exhibit Hall had some 70 exhibitors – and essentially no "customers". Part of the problem was the location. In the past,… Continue reading
