In this 'Quick One' episode, Barry and Phil give their take on all the major announcements from Config, Figma's annual conference held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This year's Config featured 4 major product releases: Figma Sites, Figma Make, Figma Draw, and Figma Buzz. They also announced Grids with Auto Layout, CMS for their Sites product, and Code Blocks. Barry and Phil discuss how all these new features, taken together, are both a boon to Design and to Designers, but also might be much ado about nothing in the age of Agentic Experiences.

We start with the question "Which Rice is the right Rice?" Then, it's on Remington Steele. It's aged well. Was well ahead of its time. A commercial for American Airlines turns us to the 1984 Presidential Election and look back at the Democratic National Convention, which began less than a week after the All-Star Game in San Francisco. While Mondale was chosen as the sacrificial lamb vs. President Ronald Reagan, out in front of the Moscone Center protestors were calling on the government to recognize the AIDS epidemic. Unfortunately, it really took until Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive on November 7, 1991. I've got a 1992 card that commemorates his announcement. We then turn to the Golden Age of Serial Killers, 1970-1999. And no state had more prolific serial killers during these years than my beloved home state of California. With nods first to predecessors the Zodiac Killer, Ted Bundy, and others, I then give you my top-5 serial killers from the 1980s. Even if you live on the second floor, it might be a good idea to lock your windows tonight.

Guest: Scott McNealy, former CEO and co-founder of Sun Microsystems & co-founder of CurrikiScott McNealy never wanted to be CEO of Sun, and in his 22-year tenure before selling to Oracle, he knows there were times he failed to execute, or to rein in the once-iconic Silicon Valley firm's worst impulses. But like his pro golfer son, Maverick, Scott doesn't like to look back: “Golfers will always look back and blame the wind, a divot that wasn't repaired, a bad rake job, a mower cut that wasn't done properly, a gust of wind,” he explains. “If you blame yourself for all of the mistakes you make. You will hate yourself ... I look forward.”In this episode, Scott and Joubin discuss Scott Cook, Maverick McNealy, why big companies are riskier than startups, Al Gore, Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg, Kodak, Dick Kleinhans, Harvard University, “bozo invasions,” Myers-Briggs, making an example, Motorola car phones, the Moscone Center, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA's valuation, farewell letters, “you have no privacy,” open-source education, and toothpaste.com.In this episode, we cover:Links:Connect with ScottTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Jeremy Tangren, Director of Media Operations at The Duckbill Group, joins Corey on Screaming in the Cloud to discuss how he went from being a Project Manager in IT to running Media Operations at a cloud costs consultancy. Jeremy provides insight into how his background as a Project Manager has helped him tackle everything that's necessary in a media production environment, as well as what it was like to shift from a career on the IT side to working at a company that is purely cloud-focused. Corey and Jeremy also discuss the coordination of large events like re:Invent, and what attendance is really like when you're producing the highlight reels that other people get to watch from the comfort of their own homes. About JeremyWith over 15 years of experience in big tech, Jeremy brings a unique perspective to The Duckbill Group and its Media Team. Jeremy handles all things Media Operations. From organizing the team and projects to making sure publications go out on time, Jeremy does a bit of everything!Links Referenced: duckbillgroup.com: https://duckbillgroup.com requinnvent.com: https://requinnvent.com TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. Today's guest is one of those behind-the-scenes type of people who generally doesn't emerge much into the public eye. Now, that's a weird thing to say about most folks, except in this case, I know for a fact that it's true because that's kind of how his job was designed. Jeremy Tangren is the Director of Media Operations here at The Duckbill Group. Jeremy, thank you for letting me drag you into the spotlight.Jeremy: Of course. I'm happy to be here, Corey.Corey: So, you've been here, what, it feels like we're coming up on the two-year mark or pretty close to it. I know that I had you on as a contractor to assist with a re:Invent a couple years back and it went so well, it's, “How do we get you in here full time? Oh, we can hire you.” And the rest sort of snowballed from there.Jeremy: Yes. January will be two years, in fact.Corey: I think that it's one of the hardest things to do for you professionally has always been to articulate the value that you bring because I've been working with you here for two years and I still do a pretty poor job of doing it, other than to say, once you get brought into a project, all of the weird things that cause a disjoint or friction along the way or cause the wheels to fall off magically go away. But I still struggle to articulate what that is in a context that doesn't just make it sound like I'm pumping up my buddy, so to speak. How do you define what it is that you do? I mean, now Director of Media Operations is one of those titles that can cover an awful lot of ground, and because of a small company, it obviously does. But how do you frame what you do?Jeremy: Well, I am a professional hat juggler, for starters. There are many moving parts and I come from a history of project management, a long, long history of project management. And I've worked with projects from small scale to the large scale spanning globally and I always understand that there are many moving parts that have to be tracked and handled, and there are many people involved in that process. And that's what I bring here to The Duckbill Group is that experience of managing the small details while also understanding the larger picture.Corey: It's one of those hard-to-nail-down type of roles. It's sort of one of those glue positions where, in isolation, it's well, there's not a whole lot that gets done when it is just you. I felt the same thing my entire career as a sysadmin turned other things that are basically fancy titles but still distilled down to systems administrator. And that is, well step one, I need a web property or some site or something that is going to absorb significant traffic and have developers building it. Because, “Oh, I'm going to run some servers.” “Okay, for what purpose?” “I don't know.”I was never good at coming up with the application that rode on top of these things. But give me someone else's application, I could make it scale and a bunch of exciting ways, back when that was trickier to do at smaller scale. These days, the providers out there make it a heck of a lot easier and all I really wind up doing is—these days—making fun of other people's hard work. It keeps things simpler, somehow.Jeremy: There always has to be a voice leading that development and understanding what you're trying to achieve at the end. And that's what a project manager, or in my role as Director of Media Operations, that's what I do is I see our vision to the end and I bring in the people and resources necessary to make it happen.Corey: Your background is kind of interesting. You have done a lot of things that a lot of places, mostly large companies, and mostly on the corporate IT side of the world. But to my understanding, this is the first time you've really gone into anything approaching significant depth with things that are cloud-oriented. What's it been like for you?Jeremy: It's a new experience. As you said, I've had experience all over the industry. I come from traditional data centers and networking. I'm originally trained in Cisco networking from way back in the day, and then I moved on into virtual reality development and other infrastructure management. But getting into the cloud has been something new and it's been a shift from old-school data centers in a way that is complicated to wrap your head around.Whereas in a data center before, it was really clear you had shelves of hardware, you had your racks, you had your disks, you had finite resources, and this is what you did; you built your applications on top of it and that was the end of the conversation. Now, the application is the primary part of the conversation, and scaling is third, fourth, fifth in the conversation. It's barely even mentioned because obviously we're going to put this in the cloud and obviously we're going to scale this out. And that's a power and capability that I had not seen in past companies, past infrastructures. And so, learning about the cloud, learning about the numerous AWS [laugh] services that exist and how they interact, has been a can of worms to understand and slowly take one worm out at a time and work with it and become its friend.Corey: I was recently reminded of a time before cloud where I got to go hang out with the founders at Oxide over in Oakland. I'd forgotten so much of the painful day-to-day minutia of what it took to get servers up and running in a data center, of the cabling nonsense, of slicing your fingers to ribbons on rack nuts, on waiting weeks on end for the server you ordered to show up, ideally in the right configuration, of getting 12 servers and 11 of them provision correctly and the 12th doesn't for whatever godforsaken reason. So, much of that had just sort of slipped my mind. And, “Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what the whole magic of cloud was.”Conversely, I've done a fair bit of IoT stuff at home for the past year or so, just out of basically looking for a hobby, and it feels different, for whatever reason, to be running something that I'm not paying a third party by the hour for. The actual money that we're talking about in either case is nothing, but there's a difference psychologically and I'm wondering how much the current cloud story is really shaping the way that an entire generation is viewing computers.Jeremy: I would believe that it is completely shifted how we view computers. If you know internet and computing history, we're kind of traveling back to the old ways of the centrally managed server and a bunch of nodes hanging off of it, and they basically being dummy nodes that access that central resource. And so, with the centralization of AWS resources and kind of a lot of the internet there, we've turned everyone into just a node that accesses this centralized resource. And with more and more applications moving to the web, like, natively the web, it's changing the need for compute on the consumer side in such a way that we've never seen, ever. We have gone from a standard two-and-a-half, three-foot tall tower sitting in your living room, and this is the family computer to everybody has their own personal computer to everyone has their own laptops to now, people are moving away from even those pieces of hardware to iPads because all of the resources that they use exist on the internet. So, now you get the youngest generation that's growing up and the only thing that they've ever known as far as computers go is an iPad in their hands. When I talk about a tower, what does that mean to them?Corey: It's kind of weird, but I feel like we went through a generation where it felt like the early days of automobiles, where you needed to be pretty close to a mechanic in order to reliably be convinced you could take a car any meaningful distance. And then they became appliances again. And in some cases, because manufacturers don't want people working on cars, you also have to be more or less a hacker of sorts to wind up getting access to your car. I think, on some level, that we've seen computers turn into appliances like that. When I was a kid, I was one of those kids that was deep into computers and would help the teachers get their overhead projector-style thing working and whatnot.And I think we might be backing away from that, on some level, just because it's not necessary to have that level of insight into how a system works to use it effectively. And I'm not trying to hold back the tide of progress. I just find it interesting as far as how we are relating with these things differently. It's a rising tide that absolutely lifts all ships, and that's a positive thing.Jeremy: Well, to carry your analogy further with cars, it used to be, especially in the United States, that in order to drive a car you had to understand a manual transmission, how to shift through all those gears, which gave you some understanding of what a clutch was and how the car moved. You had a basic understanding of how the car functions. And now in the United States, we all have automatic transmissions, and if I ask a regular person, “Do you understand how an engine works?” They'll just tell me straight, “No, I have no idea. My car gets me from A to B.”And computers have very much become that way, especially with this iPad generation that we're talking about, where it's a tool to access resources to get you from A to B, to get you from your fingertips to whatever the tools are that you're trying to access that are probably on the internet. And it changes the focus of what you need to learn as you're growing up and as you get into the industry. Because, say, for me, and you, Corey, we grew up with computers in their infancy and being those kids in the classroom, helping the teachers, helping our family members with whatever tech problem that they may have. Those were us. And we had to learn a lot about the technology and we had to learn a lot of troubleshooting skills in order to fix our family's problems, to help the classroom teacher, whatever it was. So, that's the set of skills that we learned through that generation of computers that the current generation isn't having to deal with as far as the complexity and the systems are concerned. So, they're able to learn different skills. They're able to interact with things more natively than you were I ever imagined.Corey: Well, I'm curious to get your perspective on how that's changed in the ways that you're interacting with teams from a project management perspective. I mean, obviously, we've seen a lot of technological advancement over the course of your career, which is basically the same length as mine, but what have you seen as far as how that affects the interplay of people on various teams? Or has it?Jeremy: It's made them more connected and less connected at the same time. I've found my most effective teams—generally—worked together in the same location and could turn around and poke the other team member in the back. And that facilitated communication all of the time. But that's not how every team can function. You have to lay on project management, you have to lay on tools and communication. And that's where this technology comes in is, how has it improved? How has it changed things?And interestingly, the web has advanced that, I think, to a significant degree because the old school, old project management style was either we're going to start planning this in Excel like so many managers do, or we're going to open up Microsoft Project and we're going to spend hours and hours and hours in this interface that only the project manager can access and show everyone. So, now we're in a point where everybody can access the project plan because it exists on the web—Smartsheets or whatever—we have instant communication via chat—whatever our chat of choice is Slack, Discord, IRC—and it allows us to work anywhere and be asynchronous. So, this team that previously I had to have sitting next to each other to poke each other, they can now be spread all over the world. I had a project a number of years ago working in virtual reality that we did exactly that. We had six teams spanned globally, and because we were able to hand off from each other through technology and through competent project management, the project was able to be built and successful rather than us continuing to point fingers at each other trying to understand what the next step is. So yeah, the technology has definitely helped.Corey: It's wild to me just seeing how… I guess, the techno-optimism has always been, “Oh, technology will heal the world and make things better,” as if it were this panacea that was going to magically take care of everything. And it's sort of a “Mo money, mo problems” type of situation where we've got, okay, great. Well, we found ways to make the old things that were super hard trivial, and all that's done is unlock a new level of problem because people remain people, for whatever it is. You work a lot more with people than you do with technology, despite the fact that if you look at the actual ins and outs of what you do, it's easy to look at that and say, “Oh, clearly, you're a technical person working on technology.” I would say you're a people-facing person.Jeremy: I agree with that, and that's why I refer to the people participating in my projects or on my team or what have you as people and not resources. Because people contribute to these things, not resources.Corey: So, what I'm curious about—since everyone seems to have a very disjointed opinion or perspective on how the sausage gets made over here—can you describe what your job is because I've talked to people who are surprised I have someone running media operations. Like, “How hard is it? You just sit down in front of a microphone and talk, and that's the end of it.” And I don't actually know the answer to that question because all I do is sit down in front of a microphone and talk, and that's the end of it. You have put process around things that used to vex me mightily and now I don't really know exist. So, it's sort of a weird question, but what is it you'd say it is you do exactly?Jeremy: I've actually had to answer this question a lot of times. The really, really simple version is I do everything that Corey doesn't [laugh]. Corey records and creates the content, he's the face of the company—you are the face of the company, Corey—and you do what you do. And that leaves everything else that has to be done. Okay, you record an episode of Screaming in the Cloud. What happens next?Well, it goes off to a team to be edited and then reviewed by the recording guest—to be reviewed by the guest. We have video editing that has to take place every time you go out to a shoot, we coordinate your presence on-site at events, we coordinate the arrival of other people to your events. In its shortest form, everything that is media-related that entails some kind of management or execution that is not creating content, I'm there moving things along or I have one of my teams moving things along.Corey: Before you showed up, there were times where I would record episodes like this and they wouldn't get published for three or four months because I would forget to copy the files from the recording off so that the audio processing team could handle that. And small minor process improvements have meant that I'm no longer the critical path for an awful lot of things, which is awesome. It's one of those invisible things around me that I vaguely know is there most of the time, but don't stop to think about it in quite the same way. Like, think of it as taking an airline trip somewhere: you get on the plane, you talk to the person at the gate, you [unintelligible 00:17:05] the flight attendants help you with your beverages or bags and whatnot, but you don't think about all the other moving parts that has to happen around aircraft maintenance, around scheduling, around logistics, around making sure that the seat is clean before you sit down at cetera, et cetera. There's so much stuff that you're sort of aware of you stopped to think about it, but it's not something that you see on a day-to-day basis, and as a result, it's easy to forget that it's there.Jeremy: That's what happens with people working in the background and making sure that things happen. A good example of this is also re:Quinnvent coming up here in a month, where we'll be at re:Invent—my production team, Corey, et cetera—where Corey will be recording content and we will be producing it in very short order. And this is an operation that has to occur without Corey's involvement. These are things that happen in the background in order to produce the content for the audience. There's always somebody who exists behind the scenes to move things along behind the creator. Because, Corey, you're a very busy person.Corey: People forget that I also have this whole, you know, consulting side thing that I do, too—Jeremy: Yeah.Corey: You know, the primary purpose of our company?Jeremy: Yeah. You are one of the busiest people I've ever met, Corey. Your calendar is constantly full and you're constantly speaking to people. There's no way that you would have the time to go in and edit each of these audio recordings, each of these video recordings, what have you. You have to have force multipliers hiding behind you to make things happen. And that's the job of the Director of Media Operations at Last Week in AWS.Corey: I have to ask since last year was your first exposure to it—that was your first re:Invent in person—what do you think of it?Jeremy: It was a madhouse [laugh]. I had managed re:Quinnvent back in 2021 remotely and I did not have the clear understanding of how far away things are, how convoluted the casinos are, things of that nature. And so, when I was working with you in 2021, Corey, I had to make a lot of assumptions that now I know better now that I've been on site. Like, it can take you 30 or 45 minutes to get across the street to one of the other re:Invent locations. It's really ridiculous.Corey: That was one of the reasons I had you and also I had Mike go out to re:Invent in person the first year that I was working with either of you on a full-time basis, just because otherwise it turned into, “Oh, it's just across the street. Just pop on over and say hi. It'll take you 20 minutes.” No, it'll take 90 by the time you walk through the casinos, find your way out, get over there, have your meeting, and get back. It's not one of those things that's trivial, but it's impossible to describe without sounding like a lunatic until someone has actually been there before.Jeremy: That's absolutely true. The personal experience is absolutely required in order to understand the scale of the situation, the number of people that are there, and the amount of time it's going to take to get to wherever you need to be, even if you're on the expo floor. Last year, I needed to deliver some swag to a vendor and it took me the better part of 15, 20 minutes to find that vendor on the expo floor using AWS's maps. It's a huge space and it's super convoluted. You need all the help that you can get. And being there in person was absolutely critical in order to understand the challenges that you're facing there, Corey.Corey: People think I'm kidding when I say that, “Oh, you're not going to re:Invent. I envy you. You must be so happy.” Like, people sometimes, if they haven't been, think, “Oh, I'm losing out because I don't have the chance to go to this madhouse event.” It's not as great as you might believe and there's no way to convince people of that until they've been there.I'm disheartened to learn that Google Cloud Next is going to be in Las Vegas next year. That means that's twice a year I'm going to have to schlep there instead of once. At least they're doing it in April, which is otherwise kind of a conference deadzone. But ugh, I am not looking forward to spending even more of my life in Las Vegas than I already have to. I'm there for eight nights a year. It's like crappy Cloud Hanukkah.Jeremy: [laugh]. I second that. To be perfectly honest, San Francisco and Moscone Center, I really enjoy them as venues for these kinds of conferences, but Las Vegas is apparently able to handle things better. I don't know, I'm not real happy about the Vegas situation either, and it takes a toll.Corey: Yeah, I tend to book the next week afterwards of just me lying flat on my back not doing anything. Maybe I'll be sick like I was last year with Covid when we all got it. Maybe I will just be breathing into a bag and trying to recuperate after it. But I know that for mostly the rest of the December, I just don't want to think about cloud too heavily or do too much with it, just because even for me, it's been too much and I need some decompression time.Jeremy: I hear that. I mean, you've had three weeks of Amazon just firehosing everyone with new service releases, new updates, just constantly, and re:Invent caps it all off. And then we get back and there's just no news and everybody's exhausted from being at re:Invent. Everyone's probably sick from being in Las Vegas. To add to that Las Vegas point, hey, there's a bunch of casinos and they're cigarette smoke-filled. Like, it's a miserable place to be. Why do they insist on putting these conferences there?Corey: It drives me nuts and it's one of those things where it's—I mostly feel for the people at Amazon who have to put this show on because yeah, I complain that I don't get much of a Thanksgiving because I have this whole looming event happening, but there are large squadrons of people that they send out in advance for weeks at a time to do things like build out the wireless networks, get everything set up, handle logistics, all of it, and those people forget having, [I think 00:23:35], something hanging over their head during Thanksgiving; they're spending Thanksgiving at… you know, a hotel. That's not fun.Jeremy: No, that's not fun at all. And I understand the stresses that they're under and what these event coordinators are having to deal with. This is a huge event and it's super thankless. That networking team, if things don't work absolutely perfectly and everybody has maximum bandwidth at all times, that poor networking team is going to catch hell, and they just spent weeks getting ready for this. That sucks. I don't really envy them, but I do applaud them and their effort.We've spent the last two [laugh] Thanksgivings planning our own event to make sure things happen smoothly. These big events take a lot of planning, a lot of coordination, and a lot of people. And I think that folks always underestimate that. They underestimate the level of involvement, the level of investment, and what it takes to put on a big show like this.Corey: I mean, there is the counterpoint as well, where we still go because it is the epicenter of the AWS universe. Despite all the complaints I have about it, I like the opportunity to talk to people who are doing interesting things who are building stuff that I'm going to be either using or have inflicted upon me over the next year. And even the community folks, just talking to people who are in the trenches as well, figuring out, okay, AWS built this thing and now I've got to work with it. There's really something to be said for having the opportunity to talk to those people face-to-face. I don't have a whole lot of excuses to go to all the places these people are from, but for one week a year, we all find ourselves in Las Vegas. So, that's at least the silver lining for me. Did you find any silver linings last time or was it simply, “I finally got to go home?”Jeremy: [laugh]. No, actually, I did enjoy it. To your point, getting to speak to the service owners, these people who've written the code, is an amazing opportunity. For example, I got to run into the DeepRacer folks last year before they set up for the tournament, and they were super helpful and super encouraging to get into the DeepRacer program. I explained, “I don't know how to code,” and they said, “That's fine. You can still get into it, you can still learn the basics.”And that's super endearing, that's really supportive, and that's really emblematic of the community that's coming to re:Invent. So, this is a great place to be for this experience, to meet these people, and to associate with other users like yourself. In fact, we're hosting the Atomic Liquors Drink-Up on November 29th for our community who's coming to re:Invent, and we want everybody who's able to come so that we can say hi, pay for your drinks and, you know, talk to us.Corey: Yeah, it starts at 7 p.m. We're co-hosting with RedMonk. No badge needed, no one will scan anything or try to sell you anything. It's just if you want to schlep the three miles from the strip out to Atomic Liquors to hang out with people who are like-minded, it's one of my favorite parts of the show every year. Please, if you're hearing this, you're welcome to come.Jeremy: Absolutely. It's open. No tickets required. It's totally free. I'll be there. Corey will be there—Corey is always there—and it'll be a great time, so I look forward to seeing you there.Corey: Indeed. Jeremy, thank you so much for taking the time out of your increasingly busy day as re:Invent looms ever closer to chat with me for about this stuff. If people want to learn more about what we're up to, where should they go to keep up? I lose track of what URL to send people to.Jeremy: [laugh]. Yeah, thank you for having me, Corey. And the best place to learn about what we're doing at re:Invent is actually requinnvent.com. That's R-E-Q-U-I-N-N-V-E-N-T dot com.Corey: And we'll put a link to that in the [show notes 00:27:33] for sure. Or at least your people will. I have nothing to do with it.Jeremy: Yes, I'll make sure they take care of that. Visit the website. That's where we've got our schedule, all the invites, anything you need to know about what we're doing at re:Invent that week is available on requinnvent.com.Corey: Jeremy, thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I really appreciate it.Jeremy: Thank you, Corey.Corey: Jeremy Tangren, Director of Media Operations here at The Duckbill Group. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

As Tech workers converged at San Francisco's Moscone Center this week for the annual Dreamforce Convention, a notable absence, as reported by numerous attendees, was the usual presence of littered streets, panhandlers, tent encampments, and public drug dealing and consumption. For more, KCBS Radios Eric Thomas and Margie Shafer spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier and former mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown. 

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x348! Shameless plug 21 au 23 novembre 2023 - European Cyber Week février 2024 - SéQCure Formation Crise et résilience Ateliers et conférences (Auto évaluation) Formation PCA 2022 4 Guides pour survivre à une CyberCrise Formation PCA en ligne Description Au Google Next ‘23, des annonces majeures ont été faites concernant la sécurité dans le Google Cloud. Au cœur de ces annonces se trouvaient des améliorations substantielles des pare-feu. Historiquement, Google a constamment amélioré ses pare-feu. L'année précédente, par exemple, Google avait lancé une version du Cloud firewall distincte du VPC firewall, offrant plus de flexibilité. Elle permettait aux utilisateurs d'établir des politiques plutôt que des règles simples, de gérer la sécurité à plusieurs niveaux organisationnels et d'intégrer des listes dynamiques d'adresses. Ces améliorations ont aussi introduit la possibilité de gérer l'accès basé sur des domaines qualifiés et des géolocalisations. Cette année, l'innovation majeure est le “Firewall Plus”. L'objectif principal de cette nouvelle version est d'inspecter et de bloquer proactivement les attaques, offrant ainsi une granularité sans précédent dans la gestion du trafic. Cette capacité a été rendue possible grâce à une technologie appelée “paquet intersif”, qui capture et traite le trafic sans perturber les structures existantes. Cela signifie que les utilisateurs peuvent facilement migrer vers Firewall Plus sans avoir à réviser leurs architectures existantes. Le Firewall Plus n'est pas seulement une version gérée par Google. Il offre également la possibilité d'intégrer des pare-feu tiers comme ceux de Palo Alto, Fortinet et Cisco, offrant ainsi aux entreprises une flexibilité dans la manière dont elles souhaitent gérer leur sécurité. Les entreprises peuvent même apporter leurs licences existantes de pare-feu, éliminant le besoin d'investissements supplémentaires. L'une des grandes valeurs ajoutées de cette innovation est la facilité d'intégration et de migration. Les entreprises peuvent maintenant transporter leurs compétences et technologies éprouvées dans le Cloud sans avoir à surmonter les obstacles techniques traditionnels associés au routage et à l'équilibrage des charges. En conclusion, avec Firewall Plus, Google a simplifié et renforcé la sécurité du cloud, permettant aux entreprises de toutes tailles de bénéficier d'une protection améliorée tout en conservant ou en intégrant leurs solutions existantes. Il s'agit d'un pas géant vers la création d'environnements Cloud plus sûrs et plus flexibles pour tous.

In a surprise move that has set tongues wagging, major tech behemoths Red Hat and Meta have reportedly withdrawn their conferences slated for 2024 at San Francisco's Moscone Center. This unanticipated decision traces its roots to the concerning conditions of the city's streets. You'd think these corporations would just push through the hiccups, but no. They've thought better of it, looked at the tea leaves, and decided they'd rather not have their teams experience the delights of San Francisco's streets.Oh, but it doesn't end there. The city, with its optimistic narrative of a promising horizon, is watching its tax base dwindle as major events keep hopping off the San Francisco train. On the flip side, San Fran's loss appears to be Denver's gain, or any other city with a more appealing street climate. Business tourism, a vital driver of the city's economy, is taking a hit as the bleak reality of safety issues and crime begins to sink in. Not to mention the drop in Chinese tourism. Of course, San Francisco is hopeful. A turnaround is just over the horizon, or so they say. But businesses in the city are keeping their fingers crossed because hope, at this point, seems to be all they have.#SanFrancisco #TechExodus #CityUnderSiegeSupport the show

We are just about 5 weeks away from the biggest event of the year for the semiconductor industry – SEMICON West, which takes place July 11-13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This annual event is the flagship of SEMI. The days are packed with conference sessions, the show floor showcases the latest and greatest technologies, the special pavilions are humming with activity, and the networking receptions and satellite parties offer great opportunities for networking. In this episode, Françoise talks with Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas, about some significant and exciting changes happening this year, such as the CEO Summit, which focuses on the path to $1T, the path to Net Zero, and the path for talent. He talks about the 20 under 30 program, recognizing significant contributions by semiconductor technologists who are under 30 years of age. There will be a SemiSisters reception, co-hosted by 3D InCites and sponsored by Edwards, celebrating the women who work in the semiconductor industry. To enhance the attendee exposition experience, new dining options were added that feature local San Francisco fare.

As San Francisco continues to bounce back from the pandemic, officials are taking steps to bring tourists back to the City. While convention bookings at Moscone Center have recovered a bit this year, things look a bit slower in 2024 so far. That's part of the reason behind a new ad campaign featuring San Francisco Giant's Hall of Fame broadcaster Jon Miller. For more on this, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier

After two and a half years of struggle, San Francisco's downtown stands at a crossroads. Employees have increasingly returned to offices—with overall attendance at offices reaching 50 percent on some days—streets are busier, tourism is increasing, and corporations have returned to hosting major events and attending conventions in and around the Moscone Center. Yet is it enough to return San Francisco's financial center to the heights of the activity it experienced pre-pandemic? This program will seek to answer these questions and explore what city leaders are doing to enliven and boost activity in San Francisco's downtown core. In its first program on this important topic, The Commonwealth Club has invited key San Francisco stakeholders with a direct stake in addressing the problems to discuss practical and tangible solutions to continue to bring downtown San Francisco back to life. The program will look at the Downtown SF Partnership's new public realm plan, the efforts of San Francisco's Office of Economic and Workforce Development on the issue, and possible local and state legislative responses to the crisis. Will these efforts be enough to help return people to downtown, and boost large and small businesses that continue to struggle? Please join us for an important conversation on the future of downtown San Francisco. The moderator, Kevin Truong, is a reporter at the San Francisco Standard covering small business policy and the economic recovery. SPEAKERS Laura Crescimano Co-Founder and Principal, Sitelab Wade Rose President, Advance SF Robbie Silver Executive Director, San Francisco Downtown Community Benefit District (Downtown SF Partnership) Kate Sofis Executive Director, Office of Economic and Workforce Development Kevin Truong Reporter, San Francisco Standard In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently hosting all of our live programming via YouTube live stream.

So you've made an API. It connects one thing to another, and it works well. How do you turn that into a business? On this week's TechCrunch Live, I host the perfect pairing of guests to talk about this.Stephany Kirkpatrick co-founded and runs Orum and has raised $82m for the company, which sells the Momentum APIOrum calls it "A simple, smart payments API." It enables customers and businesses access to real-time payment rails without requiring a bank integration. This is a hugely impressive feat – but we're not here to talk about the API itself but how you get investors to fund an API.With Stephanie, we have Matt Sueoka from AMEX Ventures – the VC arm of American Express. They participated in Orum's Series A. And I think this makes for an interesting setup.AMEX Ventures is a corporate venture capital firm, and they tend to have different goals and operational input than a traditional VC fund. And because of that, you, as a startup founder, should have different approaches and expectations. We'll talk about it.But first, let's talk about TechCrunch Disrupt. The show is coming up in October, and tickets are still available. It's live and in person in San Francisco's Moscone Center. We have five stages of content with huge newsmakers on the Disrupt stage, more content like TechCrunch Live on the TC + stage, breakouts sessions, Q&A events, and Startup Battlefield, which is huge this year. Anyway, I hope you can make it. If anything, come to the event and watch me mess up live and in person. I'm hosting Startup Battlefield, which means there are so many names I'll going to miss pronounce. 

The in-person cybersecurity conference has returned. More than two years after Covid-19 pushed nearly every in-person event online, cybersecurity has returned to the exhibition hall. In San Francisco earlier this year, thousands of cybersecurity professionals walked the halls of Moscone Center at RSA 2022. In Las Vegas just last month, even more hackers, security experts, and tech enthusiasts flooded the Mandalay Bay hotel, attending the conferences Black Hat and DEFCON.  And at nearly all of these conferences—and many more to come—cybersecurity vendors are setting up shop to show off their latest, greatest, you-won't-believe-we've-made-this product.  The dizzying array of product names, features, and promises can overwhelm even the most veteran security professional, but for one specific group of attendee, sorting the value from the verve is all part of the job description.  We're talking today about managed service providers, or MSPs.  MSPs are the tech support and cybersecurity backbone for so many small businesses. Dentists, mom-and-pop restaurants, bakeries, small markets, local newspapers, clothing stores, bed and breakfasts off the side of the road—all of these businesses need tech support because nearly everything they do, from processing credit card fees to storing patient information to managing room reservations, all of that, has a technical component to it today. These businesses, unlike major corporations, rarely have the budget to hire a full-time staff member to provide tech support, so, instead, they rely on a managed service provider to be that support when needed. And so much of tech support today isn't just setting up new employee devices or solving a website issue. Instead, it's increasingly about providing cybersecurity.  What that means, then, is that wading through the an onslaught of marketing speak at the latest cybersecurity conference is actually the responsibility of some MSPs. They have to decipher what tech tools will work not just for their own employees, but for the dozens if not hundreds of clients they support.  Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with two experts at Malwarebytes about how MSPs can go about staying up to date on the latest technology while also vetting the vendors behind it. As our guests Eddie Phillips, strategic account manager, and Nadia Karatsoreos, senior MSP growth strategist, explain, the work of an MSP isn't just to select the right tools, but to review whether the makers behind those tools are the right partners both for the MSP and its clients. 

Patrick MacLeamy was the CEO of HOK from 2003 to 2017, capping off a 50-year career at the venerable firm responsible for the National Air and Space Museum, Moscone Center, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, and is credited with creating "The MacLeamy Curve," a touchstone of business guidance for the built environment. In his semi-retirement, he is a founder and chairman of buildingSMART International, which encourages the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and more open collaboration between the design and construction industries. He recently authored "Designing a World-Class Architecture Firm: The People, Stories and Strategies Behind HOK." Hear some of his lifetime's worth of colorful anecdotes and sage advice on this special episode of Unfrozen. Intro/Outro: "Elevation" by U2 Nuggets: “We need to think about contractors as our valued colleagues and friends, and change the way we think about our industry. It needs to be more collaborative – design-bid-build is going into the dustbin of history. Collaborative design-build is the way forward.” “Managing risk and complexity is much easier to do collaboratively. We have to wake up and smell the coffee. The old way of designing and building is changing. If architects want to rejoin society in a special place, they have to adapt. The world needs us, but we need to get the rules of the game changed so we can be successful again.”

lThis podcast episode was recorded live at SEMICON West 2022 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, where critical discussions about the latest issues impacting the semiconductor industry took place.  Chips aren't the only thing in short supply, the semiconductor industry talent shortage continues, and SEMI has launched a workforce initiative to address this. In this episode, Françoise von Trapp speaks with General Paul Funk and Major Ray Willson of the United States Army; and Larry Smith, Chairman of the board at TEL, who participated in a panel discussion at SEMICON West on the role military veterans can play in shoring up the microelectronics workforce. All three guests share their Army stories, what it means to be a soldier for life, and about the important connections made there. They also talk about helping transitioning veterans from the military to civilian life, and what makes them so well suited for positions in microelectronics. Smith provides a recap of the SEMI panel, who participated, and some of the key takeaways. He talked about the semiconductor industry workforce image and awareness program, and how partnering with military veterans' programs can form important connections that help veterans learn about the employment opportunities available to them.  General Funk talks about the lifelong connections that a career in the army allows affords, as well as the similarities of characteristics and skill sets that make veterans such ideal candidates for careers in the semiconductor industry. He describes some of the army programs that transition army veterans to civilian life. One of these programs is Soldier for Life.Major Ray Willson provides more details on Soldier for Life, which connects the army with government and non-government organizations to influence policies, programs, and services for soldiers veterans, and families. He explains the three pillars in detail.  Find our Guests on LinkedIn: Larry Smith, TEL U.S.General Paul Funk, U.S. ArmyMajor Ray Willson, U.S. ArmyTEL Tokyo Electron (TEL) provides innovative semiconductor and flat panel display production equipment.

After attending all 3 days of WonderCon 2022 we sit down with a couple of beers and chat about all things WonderCon 2022 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Comic-Con took over the show in 2002 and moved it from Oakland to downtown San Francisco in 2003. After 15 years as a Bay Area event, WonderCon was forced to move to Anaheim in 2012, due to construction at its San Francisco home, the Moscone Center. Since 2012, the event—now called Comic-Con International Presents WonderCon Anaheim—has been held in southern California, at the Anaheim Convention Center. While it is still the hope to one day return the show to its San Francisco and Bay Area roots, WonderCon Anaheim has continued to grow in its southern California home. This year we were invited as "PRESS" and we had such an amazing time!

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, former CEO of HOK, Chairman of buildingSMART International, author of https://www.amazon.com/Designing-World-Class-Architecture-Firm-Strategies/dp/1119685303/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=MacLeamy&qid=1585239031&sr=8-1 (Designing a World-Class Architecture Firm: The People, Stories and Strategies Behind HOK), and co-host of https://gablmedia.com/show/buildsmart/ (BUILD SMART). Patrick shares his experience as the Project Manager at HOK overseeing the Moscone Center, a 300,000 sq. ft convention center, the largest convention and exhibition complex in San Francisco, California. John Igoe, at the time, Assistant to the San Francisco Chief Administrative Officer, provides additional project insight from the perspective of the governing body and client. Opened in 1981, the Moscone Center has held some of the most important events in modern business and political history, including the Democratic National Convention in 1984, Google's I/O from 2008-2015, and the announcement of the iPhone in 2007. The Moscone Center has not only provided top-tier event spaces for companies the world over but has also been a significant source of revenue for San Francisco. The project presented unique challenges and opportunities - an ongoing lawsuit and public pressures, a requirement to build the building below the water table, where it faced significant water pressure, and to combat the feeling of being underground, the team came up with and implemented an innovative post-tensioned concrete arch system.

Nous sommes le 9 janvier 2007. Dans la salle du Moscone Center, à San Francisco, sur la côte ouest des Etats-Unis, Steve Jobs affiche sa satisfaction. Toute la presse s'est déplacée pour la convention Mac World pendant laquelle, il le sait, il va faire une annonce qui va révolutionner la vie quotidienne de la planète. La rumeur court depuis quelques temps qu'Apple prépare le lancement d'un téléphone révolutionnaire pour concurrencer les leaders Motorola et Nokia, mais personne ne peut imaginer la prouesse technologique qu'il s'apprête à dévoiler : l'Iphone.

Compiler Error This week's Compiler Error has a theme: WWDC! 1 - Marking the start of the jacket trend that would be used for several years, WWDC10 gave each attendee a black track jacket with the number 10 stitched on the back. 2 - WWDC12 was the last event hosted by Steve Jobs, but did see the introduction of the final generation of AirPort Extremes and Time Capsules, which would no longer be updated. 3 - WWDC13 sold out in a tremendously fast 71 seconds, but some attendees would later say attendance was worth it since it featured Phil Schiller's "Can't innovate anymore, my ass!" quote. 4 - WWDC16 marked the first departure from holding the Keynote at the Moscone Center in years by hosting it at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium instead.

On the show today, we have the honor to speak with Patrick MacLeamy, who led global architecture and engineering firm HOK from its San Francisco office. Patrick started at the firm as a junior designer and eventually became its CEO, witnessing the firm’s growth from a single midwestern office to 27 locations across the globe offering architecture, interiors, engineering, planning and more.  MacLeamy joined HOK St. Louis in 1967, then helped establish the firm’s San Francisco outpost in 1970, later becoming managing principal of that office and then the firm’s CEO in 2016. MacLeamy led many signature projects at HOK, including Moscone Center in San Francisco and King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia. Over the years, he worked as a designer, project manager and even marketer at HOK, soaking up knowledge of all three disciplines. Trained as an architect, MacLeamy is a self-taught executive, who attributes his success to his ability to communicate clearly and his interest in “boring” things like financial metrics and digital standards, that architects often ignore.

As the so called "master of disaster" for S.F. Department of Emergency Management, executive director Mary Ellen Carroll had been preparing for an earthquake. But she got a pandemic, and found a home base in Moscone Center, which has become a place of joy for San Francisco residents getting their vaccines. Carroll gives hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight a tour of the facility, and then sits down for an interview about preparedness, Anthony Fauci cardboard cutouts and why San Franciscans can be proud of what they've done for each other. Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music is "The Tide Will Rise" by the Sunset Shipwrecks off their album "Community" and cable car bell-ringing by 8-time champion Byron Cobb.

People who provide services to homeless individuals and families have become essential workers during the pandemic, often doing their jobs in person rather than from home. While they have been considered health workers and thus eligible for a vaccine, some have struggled to get them, even being turned away from the city’s vaccination site at Moscone Center. Mary Kate Bacalao, director of external affairs and policy at Compass Family Services and co-chair of the Homeless Emergency Service Providers Association, talks about how workers in the sector have experienced the process of figuring out their eligibility for a vaccine and receiving one.

The Marys report on the formerly empty hotel rooms now housing previously homeless people in San Francisco. The city wants to close the "Shelter in Place"/S.I.P. hotels ASAP, but has promised to permanently house the current tenants at the hotels. Mary Crisis, who works inside one of the hotels, joins us. (The City's preferred term for people inside is "guests" - a weird term, given the extreme surveillance, lack of toilet paper, and no real plan for getting people into housing...at the same time as hundreds of thousands of condos sit empty throughout the Bay Area.)

I was sitting in the audience at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, the biggest conference venue in the city. It was 2017 and I was attending my fourth annual Facebook sales conference. Mark Zuckerberg had just given us a rousing talk about the future of Facebook. Each year, ‘Uncle Zuck’ comes to our annual GMS (Global Marketing Solutions) conference to answer questions directly from Facebook’s global sales and marketing organisation. That year, around five thousand people had flown into California from every single office—from Facebook Colombia to Facebook Ireland to Facebook Thailand. Towards the end of his speech, it was time to open up for an audience Q&A. I got up from my seat and started making my way to the microphone. I was walking through a crowd of thousands, but felt completely alone. Despite being a relatively seasoned Facebook veteran at that point, I still felt the lump in my throat and the heaviness in my legs as I mustered up the courage to ask Mark Zuckerberg a question.I was 26 years old and filled with imposter syndrome. Despite having worked at Facebook for four years, it still felt like a dream and I always joked about having snuck through the application process. I was the youngest person on Facebook’s Global Partnerships team and often thought I didn’t deserve to be there. Step by step getting closer to the microphone, that voice in my head kept saying, “What the hell do you know? What kind of valuable question do you even think you’re capable of asking Mark Zuckerberg? You should turn around and sit back in your seat.”I pushed those doubts away and finally got in line for the microphone. After hearing two other people ask their questions, it was finally my turn.I felt like I was about to black out. The nerves turned into adrenaline and I finally managed to say it: “Hi Zuck, my name is Anthony. I used to work in the New York office but am now on the Global Accounts team in London—”Some people in the audience started cheering and whooping. I paused for a second, let out an awkward chuckle, and then continued.“Considering that an increasingly large percentage of our user base is outside of America, don’t you think we should have more engineering offices outside the US. Shouldn’t Facebook be building more product teams in places like APAC (Asia-Pacific) in order to have better empathy for our global users?”Zuck tilted his head to the left, looked away into the distance for a brief moment, and then replied,“That’s a great question. I think it’s definitely true for the sake of our users that we need to make sure products are not only built in MPK [our California Headquarters]. And if a team is being stubborn about this, we will make sure to move them to get them out of that mindset. For example, I know a team that we moved to Seattle despite them wanting to be in MPK.”I don’t know if he misunderstood my question, but I felt disappointed with his answer. I thanked him for the response, turned my back and started walking away from the microphone. I felt frustrated that Zuck’s answer was a cop out. I felt that something was missing.I remembered my friends at Facebook Dubai, who told me how overstretched they were covering clients literally across all of Middle East and North Africa. I remembered my friends at Facebook Japan, who would have to be on team calls at 10PM because it was 9AM in New York. I remembered my friends at Facebook Singapore, who cynically joked around at dinner saying how the biggest part of their job was fighting for attention from California.I remembered colleagues from New York who were turning down job offers to transfer to a “remote” foreign office, fearing the move would harm their career progression by being even further from headquarters.Facebook’s world-class executive leadership team consisted of Americans living on the West Coast. Clearly, they have succeeded beyond their wildest imagination and are very very good at their jobs. But how much can they really develop a sense of empathy for someone in India or Brazil or Nigeria? I’ve always had this nagging feeling that Silicon Valley is too culturally complacent and ignorant about what is happening around the world, especially in Asia. Facebook started off as an app for American college students that was being built by American college students. Now Facebook is a truly international platform, with the vast majority of its user base in emerging markets. Even Facebook’s marketing materials constantly emphasise stories about small business owners in places like Indonesia or India using the app.Facebook builds products at the bleeding edge of technology, hires some of the world’s best people and fosters an incredibly progressive culture. But after working there for several years, I still felt that Facebook had a cultural blind spot around Asia.So I thought…if even Facebook has an Asian blind spot, maybe other companies and other people do as well.Twenty years ago, Silicon Valley honestly didn’t need to care about a place like India or China. In 2020, the most consequential issues for Silicon Valley companies usually come from places like India or China. But what could I do about that..? Two months ago, a friend reached out to me and said she really liked what I was writing in my other newsletter Venn Diagrams. She asked me to write more about what’s happening in Asia, because she had no idea about the stuff going on there. I took note when she said that, because about a dozen other people had told me the same thing over the last six months.I thought back to when Mark Zuckerberg answered my question in 2017, and I wished I could send him and all my friends some kind of overview explaining why I’m so excited about Asia.Then it hit me…Why don’t I translate my feverish rants about emerging markets, my obsessive reading about Asia, and my bold claims about underestimated companies…into an actual newsletter about Asian tech, media, and business? And so this newsletter, East West Hurricane, was built out of the feelings that stirred when Mark Zuckerberg disappointed me three years ago and the realisations that crystallised when a friend asked me to write more about Asia two months ago. Through creating this newsletter over the past 50 days, I’ve learned a lot about Asia. And I hope by reading East West Hurricane, you have also learned a lot.Several people who have reached out to me giving positive feedback have been Asian-Americans. They have told me how much they have learned and also even reconnected with a part of the world where they have ties. Whether or not you fit into that category, I hope this newsletter provides you with value.I don’t know everything about Asian tech, but I am committed to this lifelong journey of learning. I especially look forward to learning more from people like Andrew Baisley, whose career already resembles an East West Hurricane. I have several more interviews planned for the weeks ahead from people whose careers in tech have swirled from East to West. Please let me know if you can think of other people who would be great to interview!For about a million different reasons, it’s a scary time in the world right now. To single one out specifically, I’m scared that people will hate and fear what they don’t know. If we can highlight some of the cool, interesting things we can learn from Asia, and then make the world more international—in even just the smallest way—I would call this a success.So please, share this post with a friend you think will benefit from learning more about Asian tech, media, and business.

It was the RSA security conference in San Francisco this week, and the security industry descended on Moscone Center for days of handing out free stickers, demoing products, and presenting research. And the week was punctuated by fewer handshakes and more elbow bumps thanks to Covid-19. WIRED looked at research that North Korea is recycling Mac malware, and how it's indicative of booming malware reuse.

  Our guest today is Joe Chernov. He's now the Chief Marketing Officer at @InsightSquared. He also lends a hand to startups and wildlife causes when he can. Diving right in, he says, "It's unbelievable what you can get done if you don't care if you get fired!" Talking about his experience at Eloqua, "If we were to publish something that is valuable, we could edge our way into deeper coverage by the media."  Scorecard - even though we're not supposed to keep score:  16 articles after spending 2 years developing a product and writing up the release. An infographic got 800 articles. Very eye-opening. Joe says, "Content marketing is what happens when a marketing department shifts its thinking from knowing that the company that signs their paychecks needs to shift to the customer signs the paycheck." That shift in mindset turned collateral into an ebook, a self-serving whitepaper into a more valuable, lengthy piece of content.     Point: The opportunity to leverage the correct content through the active sales process:   Best content ideas come from your sales people. Conversations with sales will be the source of the best ideas.  Example: They publish a issue of their "blog" once a month that includes a recap of 4-5 articles on similar content. Each month has a new theme which helps to focus the articles on that topic.    He's talking about a sales team creating an editorial calendar. You heard Matt right.   Point: Personas as a driving force for effective content.   Personas help reduce the size of your universe so that as a writer or content creator, your writing universe is smaller which helps guide the writing and allow it to be less daunting.  But, he cautions against being way too specific with a persona. "Susie Seller" is just a role in an organization. We don't need to know which college she attended or coffee brand she prefers, unless you are selling coffee.   People have a hard time comparing their content metrics to their business metrics.   The very best way to shine a light on the value of your content is to look at lead quality. Your lead or transactional content success could be measured by downloads, subscribers. These are higher value than typical leads.  You want to know did they close? Did they move deeper into the funnel than other sources? Lead Quality tops the list for this comparison and measurment.   Favorite KISS song and why: Deuce. Gene Simmons wrote it on a bus. It's about absolutely nothing.    -----------------------     Even though this is a replay, it's timely as it mentions the upcoming Dreamforce. Matt will be presenting 5 minute walk from Moscone.

Join James Montemagno, Jérémie Laval, and Pierce Boggan as they discuss all of the latest announcements from Google I/O, how they affect developers, and their thoughts on attending Google I/O at the Moscone Center. Special Guest: Jérémie Laval.

Ok, so I didn’t really rock San Francisco – just the Moscone Center, where Wondercon is held. Wondercon was really a fantastic convention and I was very psyched to have the opportunity to head down to the show. Aside from geeking out about comics and artists and everything else that was happening at the show […]
