SCORE Small Business Growth Series

These photos are from the SCORE Small Business Growth Series, held at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Culver City. This particular event concentrated on social media marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Google Analytics, finances for small businesses and more. This was a free event for small business owners sponsored by City National Bank, Constant Contact and the Culver City Chamber of Commerce. I have been doing Internet Marketing since 1996 and I learned stuff there, so I have to recommend any upstart small business owner to look to see if there is a SCORE chapter near you.

Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce Holiday Mixer

These photos are of the 2011 Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce’s Holiday Mixer, held at the Marriott Hotel in Torrance. It was a nice networking event that topped off the Networking at Noon function we had attended earlier in the day. We met some new people and reacquainted ourselves with some people that we had met earlier. Back to TACC Holiday Mixer Photos Back to TACC Holiday Mixer Photos

Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce Network at Noon

Today, Tanya and I went to our first Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce function. It was their December Network at Noon, which was held at Oliver’s Cafe in Redondo Beach. Synergy DTI is the parent company and since Tanya now lives in Torrance, we decided to join. I have to say, I am really looking forward to this. Business opportunities abound. I almost feel silly for not joining years ago. If you are a small business owner, I suggest at least checking out your local Chamber of Commerce. Business to business is good business. Here are a few photos from …

Christmas Lights at Candy Cane Lane in Sleepy Hollow 2011

These photos were taken on December 4, 2011 in Torrance, CA. Every year at this time the Sleepy Hollow section of Torrance goes all out with the Christmas decorations and the area is transformed into Candy Cane Lane. I remember the first time I went there. It made Disneyland’s nighttime lights seem rather tame in comparison. This is great fun for the entire family. You can drive up and down the streets, or park and enjoy the decorations up close, maybe meet Santa Claus himself or partake in some hot chocolate and homemade cookies. I usually go two or three …

Day two of APPNation III Conference and Expo

These photos were taken on day two of the B-to-B mobile application trade show, APPNation III. One common denominator I have noticed at every trade show I have attended over the years is that the day after a good party, there will be lower attendance the next morning. This held true on day two of APPNation III, however, that did not slow down the flow of information coming from the various panels and workshops or the enthusiasm of the attendees that came out. This was an informative event and I look forward to attending the next one. Back to Day …

APPNation III After Party at ROE

These photos are of the APPNation After party, sponsored by MobClix and MasterCard. At the end of a long day of seminars, panels, workshops and visiting the various booths on the APPNation III expo floor, it was time to head over to ROE Nightclub for the APPNation After Party for some serious networking. I know I had a good time and judging by the photos I am not alone. Back to After Party Photos Back to After Party Photos

Surf at El Porto

These photos were taken November 25, 2011 just north of Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach, in an area known as El Porto. I headed over there on Black Friday to check out the surf and surfing action as I had been informed that the surf should be pretty photogenic. I got there late in the morning, so the bright sunlight played havoc with my photography, but the surfers seemed to be enjoying themselves. Back to Surf Photos Back to Surf Photos

I am headed to APPNation III

I will be in San Francisco next week for APPNation III. This third APPNation Conference will be held November 30 through December 1, 2011 at The Concourse Exhibition Center which is part of the San Francisco Design Center, located at 635 8th Street, San Francisco, CA. I attended APPNation last April and found it to be quite valuable since we are just beginning to get involved in the mobile application market. AppNation Conference is a B2B trade show, specializing in the mobile application market. When I attended last April, the thing that impressed me the most was the non-stop action. …

Surfing at the Hermosa Pier

I was at the Hermosa Beach pier for the GI Joe Pier-to-Pier Run/Walk this morning. Once the runners and walkers headed off towards the Manhattan Beach pier I decided to walk down to the shore and check out the morning surf. The surf was pretty decent sized and it looked like the surfers were enjoying themselves. The overcast skies and slight wind made for some great contrasts. I will have to go through and edit some of these and make a video with them. Back to Surf Photos Back to Surf Photos
