This year I made the trip to San Francisco for Salesforce’s annual DreamForce a five day conference that trumps all other conference. Every aspect of the event was amazing and WOW 120,000 attendees. The leadership speaker series, the trainings, the networking opportunities, and the parties were all great. My highlights and most memorable moments were getting to meet a couple of vendors that I only get to speak with on the phone including one who is located in France.

It’s a couple of months since my last post and even longer since I’ve logged into the backend of my site. So this morning I did a lot admining of my site, kicked the morning off by removing a bunch of old plugins, old backups, and decided to take the twenty twelve theme for a test drive. While I’m at it’s been two years since my original posting on which wordpress plugin I use.

Thanks for attending my session on best practices for automation business processes with Kapow at the 2013 Kapow.Wow User Summit. As promised in the session i wanted to share my slides for all.

Now that we’re in the final day of 2012 I figure it was a great time to toast the apps that make my life easier throughout the year. These apps are crossed platform you can use them and their services on both Android, IPhone, and in some cases Blackberry.
