Invitation to the White House’s Baltimore Business Leaders’ Briefing

|

Any invitation to the White House is an exciting one, and we’re even more psyched to be invited as part of the Baltimore Business Leaders’ Briefing, with about 35 other Maryland-based companies.

The agenda includes voicing our perspectives about the economy, technological innovation, healthcare reform, tax reform, and other pertinent issues.

Although our Columbia, MD office is only a short drive from Pennsylvania Ave., it often feels like the small business community doesn’t hold much consequence in the deliberations of our policy makers. So when any invitation is sent our way to voice our perspective on the condition of our local small businesses, we’re going to jump at it!

Max, our CEO, left the office all smiles this afternoon, no doubt with high hopes of receiving a more personal invitation to go golfing from Mr. Obama himself.

We’ll see what happens from today’s briefing, but either way it’s an honor to be personally chosen by the president’s right hand men as a representative of Baltimore businesses.

First celebrated by a group of men in Australia, the festivities and reports of facial hair have spread nearly worldwide.

Charitable organizations have also evolved around Movember’s significance, helping to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues, including prostate cancer and depression.

Easy Halloween costumes for the procrastinating marketer

|

The air has turned brisk and the still-green grass is hiding beneath a thin layer of auburn-stained leaves that faintly crackle and rustle with each step you take. We’re approaching the final days of October, people, and you know what that means… HALLOWEEN!

So please ignore the glistening trees, shiny ornaments and alluring bows of holly that for some reason already adorn the aisles of your local Target and Walmart, and for a few more days let’s relish in the holiday which year after year gets pushed aside like the inconsequential step-child of celebrations. Halloween is not just for kids, my friends, it’s a serious event!

What it takes to be Steve Jobs

|

“Why join the navy when you can be a pirate?” Wiser words never uttered by a man more influential and responsible for single-handedly transforming the computing and mobile landscape.

Steve Jobs told us to be crazy. He told us he wanted to put a ding in the universe. He didn’t put a ding, but he sure left an Apple.

A single glance at the non-stop media coverage, and you’d think America’s greatest superhero finally befell to his kryptonite. #SteveJobs, #iSad and #ThankYouSteve rotate Twitter’s trending topics, and pictures of our generation’s Thomas Edison continue to flood Facebook’s news feeds.

But in no jest, he was a hero to millions, probably billions, of people he never met. He changed the way we think about and interact with the world. Every time you have to ask your kid a computer question, remember, he’s the reason.
