Fireplace

Confession: I’ve owned my home for 3.5 years and the pilot light in my living room fireplace remains unlit. Total and utter laziness on my part. Maybe I can just download Ted Martens digital fireplace and put my laptop on the hearth instead?

My Alt Schedule

Remember earlier in the week when I mentioned stopping back for another way to get yourself prepped for next week’s Alt Summit? This is it. The one thing I have trouble with every year is deciding which panels to attend, then remembering what I decided on once each session rolls around. Toss in dinners, drinks, a meetings into the equation and I’m a mess. This is my solution: a downloadable fill-in sheet that you can fold up into quarters and stash in your pocket or purse. Your noggin will be going a mile a minute and only so many decisions can be made on the spot! Get yours right here.
