While in Los Angeles, took a picture of the IN-N-OUT burger restaurant sign. A franchise made famous by the movie "The Big Lewbowski" in 1998, could also be a franchise that would be successful in the east coast, it just has not made it's way there......yet

Microsoft Corporation

While at Microsoft, made a trip to the Visitor Center. WOW! Very Cool.












The Microsoft Surface appears to be the next thing we will see out in the stores, bars and restaurants.



Imagine hanging out with your friends or family and being able to play or surf the net on the very surface you are hanging out at. This table has a lower shelf where your coffee or adult beverage could rest while you've challenged your friend to a game.

The Western NY CFE's new program year kicked off with an E-Discovery presentation by Adam Feinberg of Business Intelligence Associates, Inc. (BIA).





The event was held at the Larkin U-Building in Buffalo and sponsored by First Niagara Bank. After discussing the normal E-discovery process, a demonstration of the cloud version, located at TotalDiscovery.com, showed how to collect remote data from company reps abroad. Many thanks to Adam for coming up from NYC to present in Buffalo.



The networking portion of the program was also a hit. During this portion, VP/Treasurer Tim Hungerford and Canisius masters student Nicole Alexander selected members for door prizes, and the members were required to talk about themselves and their work.

Indianapolis - 2012 Super Bowl Preparation

One of the best kept secrets in the US, is Indianapolis, IN. A great community, and the center of the midwest. Only 3 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Cincinnati and Louisville, and 4 hours from St Louis.

Indianapolis will also be the home of the 2012 Super Bowl. Unfortunately for business travelers, road construction in preparation for the Super Bowl makes driving a big challenge right now. On our current two day project we had the fun of finding our way through the construction.
