That’s me on the far left! 4A’s Transformation 2010 Conference in San Francisco, CA. L-R (Me!, George 2.0, Ben ‘Sky’ Walker, Lincoln ‘Steffens’ Stephens)

As I write this from 35,000 feet in the air courtesy of Virgin America and GoGo I am pleased to say how great a trip out west to San Fran/Oakland was. The people, places, and views that met me were astonishing. I surely will be making more trips out to the Bay. I would remiss if I didn’t also acknowledge my debt to all the readers that click that email message each day via Feedburner, sometimes I forget that a substantial amount of people actually value what I have to say, for that I am forever grateful. Please continue to support my transformation; there are sure to be ebbs and flows but my promise is to continue being your cultural digest. Thank you.

I had to post this asap. The game is changing. More info coming soon.
