More soon but here's another reminder to back up your computers (and now your phones) on a regular basis and be sure you're doing a complete job.
Yes, this is the (sad) voice of experience typing this.....

Terry Pegula - my new man-crush
OK, here's the deal, I don't hero worship.
I don't put too much faith in people that I don't know and who haven't earned my respect.
If I weren't careful, I might just blow that thought process when I think about Terry Pegula.
I love my job and I love the industry that I work in but I also enjoy my down time. I'm not as big a sports junkie as I used to be but I still love baseball and hockey. The Sabres were, and always will be, my first favorite team. They have had modest success but, to my mind, had very little opportunity for greatness in the immediate future.
Today, Terry Pegula took over ownership of My Sabres. He's a fan, maybe as big a fan as me. More importantly, for an owner, he is very wealthy and appears willing to spend some money to improve the team.
All intense sports fans know that money doesn't guarantee success. Neither does passion. But, I'm allowing myself to get excited about the possibility that it will in this case. Not really sure why, but I just think that Pegula has a decent plan and has surrounded himself with solid people.
I think that the future got a whole bunch brighter for we Sabre fans today.

ARA Las Vegas / NBM Shows 2011
As you may have noticed, we've not really done a great job of staying current with this section of our web presence. Sorry about that....
With that, I guess it is somewhat predictable that this post is a bit late to help much, but I'll put it out there anyway.
This week is the annual Awards and Recognition Association's International Awards Market. While it sounds like an event that would be helpful to only a select few owners of laser engraving, cutting and marking equipment, I would respectfully suggest that ANY owner of a laser would benefit by attending this show. The ability to walk one show floor that offers so many consumables and accessories for the professional engraver is truly rare. No other laser engraving industry show gives you this opportunity. Then, on top of the show floor itself, you have the education opportunities. Again, priceless to learn so many how-to's from the industry experts. I hope that many of you will be heading to Vegas this week.
While they are much smaller shows, NBM Publications also hosts a series of awards industry shows that can be very nice investments of time for all of the reasons mentioned above.
