Silver Lining & Sandwiches

Thanks to all who voted on my video. I didn't win, but came in with a strong second. My life will move forward sans iPad and as a co-worker reminded me ... there will be a lighter, cooler iPad in a few minutes anyway. On the plus side I did get over 1700 votes which is not so shabby if I may say so myself.

In other news, I wanted to relay a snippet overheard while out walking in my neighborhood. I was passing a gaggle of tween boys on their skateboards discussing their likes...

Tween 1: I like video games.
Tween 2: I like sandwiches.
Tween 3: Me too.
Tween 2: But I only like sandwiches made by women...
Tween 3: What if you walk into a Thundercloud Sub and there are only guys working? Whaddaya do then?
Tween 2: Oh, I walk out.

Fascinating on so many levels. This kid is in the wrong decade.

Overheard anything fabulous lately?

Forgive me, Then Vote for Me...

I have been bad about posting.

I know.

Will you forgive me?

Now will you help me win an iPad2?

Last week I had the opportunity to work my company's booth at SXSW Interactive (huge tech conference here in Austin). It was fun talking to folks about who and what Eloqua is. I was asked to give a one minute spiel and if I get the most votes by 3/31 I win an iPad2 and bring tears of joy to my boss's face.
