This past weekend John P, Aaron Phillips, and I had the opportunity to visit the BlogWorld 2008 Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center, so that we could promote the Grid Virtual Private Server offerings and enterprise migration services to the thousands of bloggers present at the conference.

It was a great opportunity to present our server offerings not only to those bloggers who are preparing to leave their shared hosting provider in favor of the Grid, but also to those who are currently on multi-server clustered environments with other providers, looking for better offerings and support on a more scalable platform.

We also shared a booth with two of our clients, Woopra and Automattic (Wordpress).




After getting settled into the hotel, John P, Elie, Jad, and I headed out toward Fremont Street, which is what is referred to as “old school” Vegas.  Most of the casinos and hotels in the area are from the 1960’s, but what I found really cool was the canopy covering the entire street.  What I didn’t realize though is that they do an audio/video presentation every hour on Vida Vision, the equivalent of 1,200 plasma tv monitors.

After the conference, I spent Saturday and Sunday with the LT and Woopra crews casino-hopping.  Highlights included MGM, Caesar’s Palace, Harrah’s Piano Bar and the Bellagio light and water show, which I recorded on my Powershot digital camera.
