More SX “SW Virginia” connections
One panel I attended earlier today was moderated by Tom Markiewicz, CEO of EvolvePoint and an adjunct professor @ Virginia Tech. After the session, I asked him if he remembered the Blacksburg Electronic Village, developed at Tech as one of the very first online communities ever developed in the early ’90’s (and which I had a very, very small role in promoting through University Relations). He said he knew Andy Coelho, who runs the BEV, pretty well, and he also says the high-tech business park on campus has more than 100 companies all doing their thing.
Wow, it really is a small world afterall. A BEV connection and Bob Goodlatte’s son. As a “Dukie”, I guess he figured there was no point in watching any more of the ACC tourney after their debacle in the opening round. Alas, the Hokies only faired a little better beating up on lowly Wake Forest. Can you tell I have b-ball on the brain after selection Sunday? Anyway, I thought I would drop in and say “hello”. I’m glad to hear that the event is going very well. Are you continuing this week or have you wrapped up? Oh, and are “the stars at night” REALLY “big and bright…deep in the heart of Texas”? Take care bro’!
