I'm converting Twitter Tuesday into Social Media Tuesdays to account for Twitter plus blogs, Facebook, etc. Given Twitter's up and down status, it wouldn't surprise me if a better service comes along over the next year or two.

My last two speaking gigs have been concurrent session talks. This means that I must compete with other seminars/panels and keynote for audience, noise-throughput and attention. This is a highly unusual situation for me as I usually give keynotes during general sessions. Given the state of the meetings industry, I’ll do keynotes, concurrent sessions, one-on-ones, …

Yesterday, Tumi rocked my world. Yes, they make some of the best luggage money can buy, but their service is off the hook too. Recently I purchased a new roller bag from them — it’s one of my top five most important travel tools. I bought the bag at the Detroit airport and a few …
