Big huge shoutout to all the Gold in the house for Vandy’s important win over Kentucky tonight.
That win made Vanderbilt bowl eligible for the first time since 1982, which was during the first of Ronald Reagan’s glorious two terms in office.
Vandy tonight proved you don’t have to be big, dumb and slow to have success in college football.
Maybe somebody could tell that to Arkansas?

Lo and behold, one of my longtime customers is featured in this month’s issue of Guideposts Magazine.
In the story, Saving Moundville, Kristie Taylor talks about what led her, a marine biologist, into a role of not just managing the renovation of Miss Melissa’s Cafe in Moundville, Alabama…but also being involved in local community redevelopment efforts.
As a related promotion, Guideposts and the West Alabama Chamber of Commerce have put together a weekend travel package giveaway for two to come visit West Alabama in mid-November. Best of all, the trip includes tickets to the University of Alabama football game scheduled for November 15th.
Here’s what included in the package:

And even if you don’t win, you can grab the recipes from Miss Melissa’s, courtesy of Chef Neil Ravenna, from the restaurant’s website, and cook up a little bit of the South on your own.

Just when I thought today couldn’t get any more perfect…
Alabama goes out tonight and puts a Technicolor asskicking on the formerly ranked #9 Clemson Pussycats, the so-called “best” of the weakass ACC, live on ABC at the Georgia Dome.
I’m talking total domination folks, on both sides of the ball. Clemson’s supposedly fearsome pair of running backs “Windbag” and “Blowhard” were held to 0 rushing yards.
All of which means it’s way past time to “turn it up” here for all the Crimson in the house…
Put them A’s up!
Yea-uh.

The first of my speaking engagements at Worldwide Partner Conference went smashingly well yesterday. That was the Windows Mobile keynote in room 372 BCEF talking about Mobility in Small and Medium Sized Businesses.
The room was full, and I don’t remember anyone leaving during the session at all. Despite the fact that my own Awesome Per Minute ratio was through the roof.
Of course, the reason the keynote went so well was totally thanks to the amazingly kickass job that Laura Johnson and Steve Doe did laying out the case for Mobility in small and medium-businesses.
I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to share Black Warrior Technology’s approach to Mobility and Windows Mobile in particular.
The second of my speaking engagements at Worldwide Partner Conference happens Thursday, July 10th, which is tomorrow, at 1:30p. It’ll be in room 382 ABC, which is the room across from the Green (Mobility) Lounge.
I’ll be speaking about specific examples of Black Warrior Technology’s approach to Mobility and Windows Mobile that have turned into huge wins for both our customers and our company.
Which, like the hokey-pokey, is REALLY what it’s all about!
