I blogged about this back in September of 2010, but technology changes so it’s time to revisit this again.

If you travel out of DFW international airport I highly suggest using these guys for parking. The airport [...]
This morning I headed over to Top Pot doughnuts to hang out with Andy Warren, Steve Jones, Bill Fellows, David Fargo, Tim Radney, and many others. It was a nice time of networking and a good small crowd. The doughnuts were good with a large and interesting selection and the coffee was good as well. [...]
Morning I got up at 6am PT this morning, got ready, got some coffee from Starbucks, and made it to the convention center by 7AM. I had no problem following the signs to registration and there was no wait in getting registered. I wish I had gotten in early enough yesterday to make registration, but no [...]
