I often tell people that my job is that of a “professional enthusiast”. I get enthusiastic about products\/technologies, then infect other people with that enthusiasm. Well, that is the idea anyway. I enjoy doing this most of all when I get to stand up in front of an audience, as a direct connection with real live human beings is the best way to communicate.<\/p>\n

We have also found that even more people access the recorded sessions after the event, which is pleasing.<\/p>\n
