Thanks again to Scott Allen for hosting the LinkedIntelligence Contest – and for awarding me the free registration and hotel at BlogWorld. Rick Calvert, BlogWorld Expo’s creator, donated the prize.

Got into Vegas about an hour ago. Returned a few emails. Watched the sunset [with a rainbow – nice to see some true natural beauty] and I’m headed out the door to meet up with some other BlogWorld attendees I met via LinkedIn. Although I’m not exactly sure who I’m having dinner with, I am…
