Strategic Blogging for Startups
This Wednesday (Nov. 1st) I’ll be presenting at the ATDC’s monthly “brown bag lunch and learn.” The topic will be “strategic blogging for startups,” and will focus on how startup ventures can take advantage of certain trends in blogging to jumpstart their efforts.

Bright and early this past Friday morning, about 400 of Atlanta’s technology movers and shakers gathered down in Buckhead in the Venetian Room of the InterContinental Hotel for the 2006 TAG Excalibur Awards.
One of the most useful skills as an entrepreneur is number crunching. If there is one thing about numbers that I’ve learned over the years, it is that I can make them sing whatever song I deem fit. Numbers are like rules – they are meant to be pushed.
