I’m very pleased to announce that Tubes’ newest advisor is Adam Kalsey. He was the founder of Pheedo and more recently Feed Crier. Kalsey is a web guru so he’ll be a very valuable tech resource for us. Welcome!

Rob Levin was a great guy, and intentionally lived under relatively poor living conditions because he was dedicated to what he did. Part of Rob’s work/passion invoved running the Freenode IRC Network, where he was known as “lilo.” Freenode is important because it’s where you can find nearly all of the IRC channels for open-source projects and technologies. I’ve had some great chats with Rob but we never met in person. Sadly Rob passed away at age 50 due to injuries from a hit-and-run on September 12th. He will be missed.

We’re in the right business.

I’ve been to all previous Sacramento Executive events, and there’s another one coming up September 20th in oldtown Sac. Everytime I’ve gone to these things I’ve met some really cool people, gotten lost in great conversations and ended up missing the food and drinks. No more I tell you! This time I’m making up for the lack of alcohol consumption, and any and all good food will be in my belly. Speaking of food take a look at the restaurant’s website. If you’re around the Sacramento area then you don’t want to miss this one, and you might even want to consider the trip if you’re in the Bay Area.

A lot of the investing and business community gathers at these events, and the Sacramento Executive events in particular. I think it’s because the only people that know about it are already involved somehow with investors or companies in the area. If you’re an entreprenuer looking for investors, management, advisors, etc, or an investor looking to find that special startup with crazy potential (like mine!), then get your ass to this party. Come to have a good time and meet people who might be able to help you, or people you might be able to help. I’ll be there, you can find me near the buffet table. Details and registration info are at the top of the front page at Sacramento Executive.
