How cool, 2 articles for the same event. I really appreciate the local newspapers getting behind the tech community in NB, definitely shows the signs of times are changing.

SUCCESS! The Verdicts In:
With over 120+ in attendance, I've got to say it was a real blast!
The next Moncton Third Tuesday is in 3 months, and it's guaranteed
to blow this one out of the water - we've already made adjustments
to the format, agenda and information to make it even more relevant to the local industries, and to keep true to the Third Tuesday "raison d'etre".

You need to watch this to believe it, but I'm betting it's the future of conversations. Think about it, why do we "Need" to speak to communicate? If they can capture our thoughts, then that's speech - right? Imagine "thinking" a google search, and having it display on a secondary screen. I'm excited.

Recently, my brother pulled off the coolest trade show EVER!. Some may not know this, but Pierre founded Martell Home Builders and has steadily grown it, over the last 16 months, to one of the most innovative, progressive and exciting companies in the Moncton area.
Now, some may say that I've had something to do with it, and although I do talk with him often about business, when all is said and done - all the decisions were his to make, and I've never been so proud!
Keep it up Pierre!
