Mile High Club and In-N-Out Project Report
Well it's official. Till this morning I was an in-flight wireless virgin. No longer. This is my first blog post from the friendly skies.
I've joined the Mile High Club of Internet denizens surfing from 30,000 feet above the ground. It. Is. Ridiculously. Awesome!!!
Give me enough extra batteries (sorry Apple, your battery life sucks) and GoGo and I'll just keep flying round and round the world getting work done like a wild man.

Back from my galavanting
I am back and finally getting to a post about my 2 weeks as an eCommerce Hippie.
Two solid weeks on the road is tough. It was GOOD to get home. But I had a great time while gone, both personally and also for Doba.
Internet Retailer
So we exhibited at Internet Retailer for the first time. Our booth was made out of cardboard boxes all piled on top of a guy laying in the middle, and it was received very well. People loved it. We had a great show while introducing Doba’s mid-market product (more on that in another post). If you’re involved in eCommerce or eTail, Internet Retailer is a must attend event in my opinion. Next year

eCommerce Hippie
After this week, I’ll be gone for the next 2 weeks. Being an eCommerce Hippie.
Maybe I should explain. Back in February, I was looking at the schedule of conferences for the next several months, and noticed that Internet Retailer was in Chicago at McCormick Place June 9-11. I attended this conference last year in San Jose and we were in the midst of making plans for Doba to exhibit for the first time since it’s the worlds largest e-retailing show. I then noticed that eBay Live was just over a week later June 19-21, again at McCormick Place in Chicago, and again, we were making plans for Doba to exhibit–for the 5th time at eBay Live.

Ground Zero
I headed to New York Sunday for a quick trip to the National Retail Federation 97th Annual Convention and Expo, a.k.a. Retail’s Big Show.
I mainly went to cruise the show and get info and meet a lot of the exhibitors.
I ended up with a bit of extra time on Tuesday, so I headed down to the World Trade Center Site. I’ve never been. I went on a walking tour with Tribute NYC. These tours are led by people whose lives were profoundly changed by September 11th. Each tour is unique and connects those who want to hear stories with those who want to share them. One thing that surprised me is that 75% of my tour

Mark Cuban is my New Hero
|
Thanks to Mikal Belicove |
THE highlight of the BlogWorld Expo that I attended last week was the closing keynote given by Mark Cuban.
Mark was one of the most engaging speakers I’ve ever seen. He speaks his mind. And his mind is sharp. Makes for a great 75 minutes. He didn’t use any slides. After polling the audience for a couple of minutes to begin with, he realized it was a different group than he had anticipated, and he adjusted his remarks on the fly, flawlessly.

 I’m at the Blogworld and New Media Expo in Las Vegas. I came down with my good friend Mikal Belicove. You may be wondering and saying to yourself, “Self, why did Jeremy drive all the way to Vegas to go to BlogWorld?” Well, on the left sidebar of my blog I say:
