Search Engine Strategies @ NYC

Guess what was in this mug, and win some link love!It seems like I’ve been going to SES in the city forever, but it’s probably only been 5 or 6 years in a row. This year, I registered for a last-minute exhibit hall pass, and walked the floors. Noticeably smaller than even last year, the companies there were all real businesses.

Las Vegas CLE Seminar

Last week I presented a client development seminar for the Amarillo Young Lawyers Association’s 11th annual CLE event in Las Vegas. We were treated very well by the Bellagio staff — if you’ve never stayed, you’re in for an experience. From the Dale Chihuly glass ceiling in the lobby to the famous fountains out front, everything is over the top. The 30+ attorneys in attendance heard me speak...
