TRA Show
Got back last night from a trip to the Texas Restaurant Association's trade show, which was quite interesting. It's a bit smaller than the National Restaurant Association's show (the OTHER NRA), but that's by design. In fact, the TRA's show is more of an exercise of actually talking with customers, rather than the NRA's show, which is mostly branding and showing-off of the latest and greatest products.Erik was in town for the weekend, and we decided to take all of our employee's down (which is 4 at the moment), and let them walk the floor. Probably was little business value in taking them, but they had a good time, the alcohol was free, and the guys had a great time. Marco (resident graphic artist) was having a great time looking at the failed attempts at marketing and graphic design (which abounded), and the three programmer-types (Saurabh, Karan, Gurkan) all managed to badger (politely) the various technology vendors about what they sold, how they sold it, how or why it worked like it did, etc...
I managed to pick up a goody bag full of various technology odds-and-ends, and I'll be going back through the bag and putting some information up here about the items I've found. Some was very interesting technology, and some was very mundane.
