He has an elegant solution for keeping laptops and tablets cool in the form of sharp-looking stands that presents the device’s screen at a usable height.

He spoke of hoping to get onto the Dragons’ Den reality TV show and feeling a bit nervous about the whole process. A year later...SUCCESS! The episode featuring ChillBeds will air on Dragons’ Den on Feb 1st 2012.

Good luck Adam!!]]>Lunar Eclipsematt@skviggle.comNone2011-12-10T04:30:00-08:00http://www.skviggle.com/blog/files/f7b9bba81229dce577eb77b75612e2eb-15.html#unique-entry-id-15http://www.skviggle.com/blog/files/f7b9bba81229dce577eb77b75612e2eb-15.html#unique-entry-id-15Over an hour of bundled-up intermittent camera clicking as the Earth gradually darkened the bright face of the Moon in a crisp clear sky. Of course, the mists rolled in right as the eclipse began to turn the moon red, so I managed only one frame as it is starts to turn.

The company with whom I am consulting, Goulet Associates, stepped up as a Gold Sponsor, which gave us some great recognition by attendees. Hopefully the success of this event means that we will see more of them in Vancouver, which would be really good for the product management and marketing community in our city, as it really provides a gathering point, and energy focus for these disciplines, especially product management which tends to be low profile.
