Well what would Vegas be like without a little gambling?  Eric at his first slot machine of the week.MGM Slots  I like to think of this is the fastest way to spend $50 dollars.  Below is a picture showing how Eric feels about losing $50 dollars. I have to give Eric credit, before the week was over he walked away with more money than he lost.MGM Slots

It all started with the Main Keynote Address by C.K. Prahalad. C.K. Spoke about his new book ” The New Age of Innovation”.  You can find more about this concept of driving co-created value through global networks here http://www.newageofinnovation.com/ as well his book.Interop Keynote

Brady Wilson was asked to be interviewed by Science Logic about Interop and their product EM7. We encourage you to watch Brady and David Link (President and CEO of Science Logic) discuss both topics.
Here is some photos of Science Logics booth.Science Logic BoothScience Logic We also had a great time eating at the House of Blues with them.  Who isn’t going to enjoy the food and music at restaurant and club that was started by Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, Aerosmith, Harvard University, River Phoenix, Paul Schaffer?Science Logic Dinner

We also got to spend some time with GTA (Global Technology Associates) who is our Firewall vendor. GTA They have in our opinion the best firewalls on the market. To check out a demo of their firewalls, click here (GTA Demo). It is outstanding. 

One of the booths at Interop this year that had great give aways was the Citrix Booth. Citrix Car Race They were giving away 3 Nintendo Wii’s every day.  The way to win was simple, select your micro remote control race car, Citrix Car Raceand be one of the 3 fastest times each day to win.Citrix Car RaceSo close to winning.Citrix Scoreboard I guess next year we will have to practice up our skills.

For those of you waiting for questionable photos of Vegas here you go.  Tribute to Booth Babes
