Kimberly Tripp takes the lead with an 8.80 score!

Kimberly has gone on to beat Steve Riley as of Thursday at 6:00 PM.  Now I know this seems crazy, but you will have to read my blog tomorrow for the story behind the competition. 

Thanks to Kevin Lisota  and the Mobile Devices team for providing Smart Phone Incentives for Evals.

:) Now I am off to see SHAMU. See y'all there!  Denise

Michael Earls, Greg Huber, Rob Caron, Jason Fredrickson, and Kate Gregory have all made my day!

Michael Earls, Greg Huber, Rob Caron, Jason Fredrickson, and Kate Gregory have all made my day!  I just went through the blog feed and I couldn't be any happier reading about all that is happening in the cabanas. If you scroll through my blog you can read about the vision we've had for the cabana sessions all along. It's a little like Field of Dreams, “Build it, and they will come.” Thanks for all the great comments about the cabana areas.  I know there have been some frustrations regarding sun glare on the plasma screens, sound, crowding, etc... but ultimately what Michael, Greg, Rob, Jason and Kate have mentioned in their blogs captures the essence of what we set out to achieve.  All of this was based on feedback from RDs, MVPs, speakers, staff and attendees from past PDCs, MECs and TechEd.

You will find me cabana hopping today! Likely chatting to Ali Parker in Cabanas 12-14 and saying thanks for putting together a great “Rumble in the Jungle“ party last night!  If you do see me, please say hi.

Evals-a little incentive?

Yes. Today we will be distributing requests for evals to be submitted.  Information on how to fill out an eval will be handed out during the second timeslot, as well as set in the CommNet area.  The Mobile Devices team has secured SmartPhones for a drawing for those who submit evals. Fortunately the eval counts are going up. It's a good thing, the statistical data will be stronger for us to evaluate where we hit the mark. As of Thursday morning, this is who is hot:
