Leaving Empire Avenue

So, I just deleted my Empire Avenue Account. I decided that with the recent changes to the tool that there was nothing more I could glean from it. I did send a note to them, but I don't think it matters, I am sure that they have reasons for what they are doing and I'm not the target audience.

I decided to delete the account so that all my investors would get the max eaves possible. I peaked today at 123+ which is higher than I ever thought possible. I maxed out everyone I could today too so that they would benefit from my purchases. I am hoping I left the best way possible. I met some interesting people on EA and will continue to follow them on twitter and on G+, but the time needed to participate was growing and with less and less ROI for me.

If you read this and ever were a shareholder, thank you. I learned a lot from you and appreciated your willingness to invest in me.

Happy 2013

Yep, so I dropped off the blogging bandwagon again.

After the conference I came home to a ton of things going on... and then the holidays... and all the birthdays... and relatives in the hospital.... and a new puppy.... and on and on.

Since this is one of those activities where I don't get paid.... this one doesn't happen regularly. But I know I should do better.  Will try again :)

Here's the puppy: Morgan!

Day Two HeWeb12

So, Day 2. Much busier than day 1 if you can believe it. I blogged two sessions:

Using the Right Tools  and Web Content Strategy.

Both were great sessions and I learned a lot. By the end of the day I had 15 golden nuggets!

Tuesday afternoon I did take the lunch break to walk over to see the Bronze Fonz and the Milwaukee Public Museum. It was a beautiful but cool day and a nice walk. The museum was actually small compared to many others I've seen (I might be a museum snob) but one of the Security Guards (Darlene) and I had a great chat about the butterfly habitat and walking sticks.

I also genuinely enjoyed the "Streets of Old Milwaukee" exhibit. I love the architecture and am learning a great deal about cities younger than mine.

I made it back for the poster presentations, the end of the vendor conference, a quick run around to earn SCVNGR points and dinner.
