After the seminar, we had Seattle Executives Association open house at PSPINC. We host this event every year and it is our tradition to have Sushi and Sake. We had about 50 people showed up but I think we had sushi for 100 people today. After the open house, our employees had feast.

Next big event for us is our annual PSPINC Invitational Golf Tournament. This years tournament will be at Trilogy GC on June 29th (Monday).

1st Bloguru Seminar

4月

10日

We hosted the Bloguru seminar at PSPINC today. I was expecting about 8 people, but we received 22 RSVPs and there were more than 30 people. After the seminar I sent 10 invitations to Bloguru. I was really surprised to see so many people there.

It will be wonderful if those people sign up with Bloguru and start blogging. People who attended were the members of Seattle Executives Association. There are 111 members. If they all join Bloguru and start commenting on each other, Bloguru will be one popular business address on the net. It will be wonderful.

Bloguru Seminar

4月

9日

I belong to an association called SEATTLE EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATION. It is a 90-year-old business networking and lead generation organization. We joined the association in 2003. They are dynamic and very active organization.

However, most businesses are very slow (including ourselves) to act when it comes to using the Internet for business such as blogging. So, to help people jumpstart, we announced that we are putting together an hour seminar on how to open and maintain BLOGURU tomorrow. We are having the open house tomorrow 4 to 7pm for Seattle Executives Association. And the seminar will be 3 to 4pm. I was expecting handful of people to sign up. But as of tonight, we now have 18 people signed up. WOW. I now really prepare for it.

I will let you know how it went tomorrow.

Patio Upgrade

Patio bench and tables are delivered and installed today. They are designed and built by Seattle Iron Design Center (www.irondesigncenter.com), another fine Seattle Executive Association member company. The president and his crew did such a wonderful job, we are afraid someone might steal them.

We are having Seattle Executives Association in two days. They finished just in time for that event. Thank you, Tim Sharp.

GONE GREEN!

PSPINC was mentioned in April Issue of Master Builder Magazine for its participation in Puget Sound Energys Green Energy Program. We did not about this Green Energy program until one of the engineers told us about it. It was no brainer that we decided to participate.

As a operator of data center with hundreds of servers, we use a lot more energy than most companies of our size. So, it is only fair to participate in this program to give something back to the society and environment.

Another Company

I had to go to the bank after the lunch. One of my banks is Bank of America and their branch in downtown Bellevue is this building. The building is called PACCAR Building. I know the name for along time but I never thought this is the world HQ for PACCAR, Inc.

When you think of Seattle, you think of Boeing, Microsoft, Nordstrom but you never think about PACCAR. I knew PACCAR started here, but I never thought their HQ is still here in Bellevue. WOW.

This is another company that I would love to work with.

Lunch with CEO

4月

7日

I had lunch with Jeff Riley, CEO of Dinerware. Dinerware is a new member of Seattle Executives Association which my company is a member since 2003.

Dinerware develops and distributes Point of Sales (POS) system for restaurants. He told me the company has grown 50% last year. That is amazing. They now have distribution in Canada, Europe and Australia. I will take a look at their system to see if we can help them distribute their system in Japan and Korea.
