I can’t wait for Thursday:

The third in a series of popular Cool Cleveland after-work networking parties, this one is subtitled, Innovation/Immigration, in order to honor the immigrant entrepreneurial spirit that built Cleveland around the turn of the century, but that we have somehow forgotten about. Check out the beautiful Lin’s Omni Center at 3167 Fulton near Clark in the area that the 2000 US Census called “the most culturally diverse community in the State of Ohio,” and party with multicultural performance (Aphrodesiatics, Cats On Holiday, SAFMOD) and international food from around the region. Same open bar and casual atmosphere as the last A/T/D parties, but now you can enjoy the great view of Cleveland’s skyline from the 25,000 square foot fourth floor space and groove to the sights and sounds of the area’s coolest cultural sensations. Thu 6/5 4-9PM. Register now before it’s too late!

If you go to one event in the month of June, I’d recommend Art/Tech/Dance.

Geof took some cool pics last night.

One of the things I like to do with this blog is point out what other people are saying. That’s the nature of the internet, the hyperlink. A prime example, the title of this post links to Steve Goldberg’s blog. Both of his latest posts very much parallel some of the things I’ve experienced and thought over the last few days. So go ahead, read what Steve has to say. Besides, I’ve got to head downtown with my wife to the CWRU Book Sale. I don’t have time to blog all about the last 24 hours.

Check out the CrainTech poll today and vote!

I’ve started a page to collect the comments I’m seeing about the seminal event last night. Click on the title of this post to go there.

I’m running late this morning. I should be on my way downtown for breakfast, but I wanted to say thanks to some people first.

Thanks to SPJ and AIP for sponsoring. Thanks John for mcee’ing. Thanks to all the panelist for making it interesting. Most of all, thank you all for attending. You’re the one’s who made it fun.

I hope all of you will start your own blogs. If you need any help or have any other questions, please email me.

More later…

Mike Nemeth was in town recently and related the story of being shut down because of a recent series of videos based on the Joe Millionaire TV show. A visiting congressman questioned whether or not a West Point cadet should be spending time making parodies. Mike sent out an email to his list saying there was nothing this week and got back emails from officers around the world saying how disappointed everyone was.

My point is, we take our freedoms for granted. I think Mike will be back on line soon. Hopefully, he keep telling great stories. I look forward to hearing how this one plays out when he comes back from Europe this summer.

In the middle of the night, I came downstairs and noticed a large box by the door. My coffee roaster is fixed!
