Sorry for not replying to some comments earlier from Mike and Chris in particular, they were caught in my spam filter for some reason...

Dawud - one of your comments was caught too, very strange.

Was a great time. I'm STILL thinking about it and processing it...

Keep creating,
Mike

Oh, and don't worry 'bout the photos. Many of the ones that show me highlight my backside, too. Alas!

Ben, it was great to finally meet you in person! Funny how SOBCon is still going on, right here in the comment boxes of all the attendees, isn't it? Pretty great!

Jonathan,

Let's not get into too much of a discussion on the virtues of US beers...*chuckle*

And well, I was away from home, perfect time to enjoy some Heineken, although I might have enjoyed them a bit more than most of the other people! *laugh*

Glad you liked the presentation - now to get it online...

Hey Ben. And, again, Happy Birtday from Monday. Don't worry, I won't share any of the other personal stuff I learned about you at SOBCon.

Meeting you, talking business and hanging out around an excellent Indian meal was a blast. Now I know who the Instigator is...except that Adam and I had to prod to you go to dinner.

Thanks for some great talks and for sharing your knowledge of podcasting.

And I'm with Phil..."High tech is good; high touch is GREAT!" HEY PHIL, CAN I USE THAT?

I'll definitely be looking for that powerpoint. It was great to meet you and chat some at our table.

Ben! Didn't my wife take the picture that you have on your site now? I promise I won't tell her if you change it. :-)

I'm SO glad you helped us, and (better still) presented and participated. You bring so much to the table, my friend - it wouldn't have been the same without you. I also enjoyed our many discussions about business and life over those two days.

So, pending fathter (do keep us posted), all the best and keep the faith!

Ben:
I agree with you that it really needed more "free" time to network and connect. Next year!

It was great to be there and meet you Ben. I really loved your new startup idea for Standout Jobs and hope to keep encouraging you as you make that dream a reality!

I'm just waiting to hear about that "most embarrassing moment," Ben. :)

Face to face is hard to improve on.

At the end of the day I don't worry about our technology skills failing, I worry about our people skills failing.

It was great to meet you Ben and to learn from you...face to face.

Keep creating,
Mike

You are absolutely right Ben. NOTHING replaces face-to-face time. High tech is good; high touch is GREAT!

Nice write-up, Ben. I think that was our second trip to the buffet (or maybe 3rd?).

Great food, great people (yeah, I agree, maybe not yawning guy), and great info.

Definitely one of the best conferences I've ever been to.
