Okay so in the past few months I’ve been traveling so much that I’ve decided to simply do an aggregate post about the specific conferences that I will add photos to as I upload them.

• Search & Social Hawaii (Oct 2011)
• BlogWorld LA (Nov 2011) – This was fun and since it was LA not Vegas, there was a much bigger celebrity presence, less nerds. Oh & of course lots of mommy bloggers with bags for swag.
• Webmaster World – PUBCON Las Vegas (Nov 2011)
• CES 2012 (Las vegas)
• NAMM 2012 (Anaheim) – I got to be on a panel of music experts, attorneys and more to explain SEO to them. It was great.
• Socialize Toronto (Today) still there now… watching…blogging… more to come. Other Live Bloggers of this event: http://www.digitalalwaysmedia.com/2012/01/socialize-toronto/

more to come…..

Now, first I want to mention that what really is important when talking about Klout is the topics that you are influential on, not the ‘overall’ klout score, however, just like with Google ‘PageRank’, people seem to focus on the number first.

In any case, this is what’s happened with my Klout network information after a week at BlogWorld & PubCon.

See how the topics range from SEO, to Steve Jobs -> I can attest this one to a blog post I wrote that mentioned Jack Layton’s letter to Canadians that was published, ‘posthumous’ followed by Steve Job’s Apple Resignation Letter, released to the media when he left apple as CEO, prior to his passing. Then John Draper, (AKA Captian Crunch) who knew Steve Jobs, also K+’d my Klout account.

I’m guessing the ‘Law’ klout comes from  my background as an IT for law firms in the past and some of my connections now. The Fast Company Klout is also intriguing as I haven’t mentioned them in any of my blogs.

This is really well done: enjoy! (Click on the image below my costume)

Now that all the reports have been rolling in, apparently one person broke their leg and no one (including Cheap Trick) was squished or trapped by the stage collapsing. This could have been disastrous for Ottawanians and for the event as a whole. Very Lucky People!

Here’s a montage of what happened including video footage slowed down and brightened up of the event and some stills.

That video features ‘Out Of Reach’ -  Demo-ed by @KRONiS last august, unreleased & produced by Dave Thompsom of DigitalUnderdog.com

Again, Play Safe Kids!

Here is a backstage video shortly after the stage collapsed backwards into that area.

Here is a rather comical or funny YouTube video of the event, unfortunately the person with the camera ‘didn’t get the shot’ but it’s a good ‘live feed’ of what happened. I would have filmed it in 3D lolz.

Well son of a gun.

I just happened to sign a crappy 2 year agreement to make the bastards at Sprint give me the deal they keep forgetting they gave me indefinitely and I find out that a DUAL processor EVO is out as of June 24th. Dang. I just moved from Toronto, Canada to NYC and dangit, I qualify for the silly upgrade and since they had to credit my account due to mismanaged promises failed to me, I spent the credit right back on the, get this 3-D version of the EVO.

I’ll let you know after I have some time to mess with it what ‘Me Thinks’ about said device but for now here’s what others have been saying:
