Franchise Update Brings Optimism to Tough Economic Times
Posted by duncan on September 30, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Last week I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with some of the world's franchising thought leaders. The Franchise Update Conference took place at the Drake Hotel in downtown Chicago. The event featured invigorating speakers, valuable breakout sessions, and worthwhile networking opportunities. Everything went off smoothly thanks to the great staff at Franchise Update Media Group. Thursday morning kicked off with an optimistic keynote delivered by FOX News Channel's Stuart Varney. Stuart spent a few minutes recapping the current financial situation in the United States. He brought a sense of hope into the long term view and...

Protons, Grids and Black Holes
Posted by jared on September 11, 2008 at 03:07 PM
On September 10th, a multi-billion dollar science experiment began that could change life forever... and you may never have even heard about it. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a project nine years and some $8 billion in the making, has begun smashing subatomic particles together, and will continue to do so over the course of the next year, in a 17-mile racetrack beneath Switzerland. The LHC is the largest and most complex physics experiment ever conceived. The LCH accelerates two opposing streams of protons to within 99.99991% of the speed of light. It then merges the two particle 'beams' and...

SES Chicago '06
Posted by Christopher on December 11, 2006 at 03:47 PM
Ah, the Windy City. The City of the Big Shoulders. Hog Butcher for the World. That Toddlin' Town. I don't know quite what that last one means (what's "toddlin"? How, exactly, does one "toddle"?), but there's certainly something magical about Chicago, especially around the holidays. And with this being my first trade show as a freshly minted Client Services Representative, the magic followed me inside to Search Engine Strategies Chicago 2006. The opportunity to rub elbows with search luminaries, the celebrities of our rarified world, set the mind awhirl: Danny Sullivan, in his swan song appearance, his final SES; Jason...

The Varying Degrees of SES Chicago
Posted by duncan on January 03, 2006 at 09:30 AM
The Windy City lived up to its name in early December of 2005. The Search Engine Strategies Conference swooped into town and took over the lower floors of the Chicago Hilton. Three types of attendees visited us at our booth. I liken them to the three types of people I saw dealing with the frigid temperatures Jack Frost cooked up for us. Being from Northern Lower Michigan, the Oneupweb crew is no stranger to cold weather. We share Lake Michigan with Chicago, although we are further north. The biggest difference in our weather and Chicago's is that we get several...
