Business & Technology Nexus

Sometimes you just don’t have a good excuse for going missing from the blogosphere for so-o-o-o long. Truth is, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in Coupa startup stuff, and it’s been a blast. But the days of “grip it and rip it” posts discussing the inner workings of Coupa are probably in the past. But we’ll see, once we’ve completed our next series of announcements there will be a lot of recent history to cover that, frankly, I can’t wait to share.

Michael of Sourcing Innovation is headed over here to the West Coast tomorrow for his bi-annual soak-it-up and share-it visits with Procurement and Supply Chain vendors in the Valley. It will be good to catch up with him again.

And apologies in advance if I offer a few content-light posts to get back in the blogging groove.

I’ve been to a lot of 4th of July celebrations, but last night in Seaside topped them all. Picture tens of thousands of people on a large beach next to the Pacific Ocean, with fires roaring, everyone trying to outdo their friends with massive amateur rockets and fireworks in addition to the traditional smaller stuff. Then the main show, set to music blaring from louspeakers strategically placed around the beach, and you’ve got the idea. Cool stuff!
