TechJournal, in conjunction with Georgia Tech’s ATDC and the Technology Association of GA, hosted it’s first Atlanta DeckParty last night! It was a great networking event where you could meet a very diverse group of executives and entrepreneurs. There was no agenda for the evening. Just eat, drink, and make some great contacts.

I would guess that there were around 150 people there last night. I basically walked away with a hand full of business cards, insight into new technology startups in the southeast, and great advice for launching my career. If you ever get a chance to attend, I highly recommend it.

Continuing on with my goal of attending every home football game this year, Chrissy and I watch Georgia Tech play Clemson this past Saturday. The game was very exciting and GT won 13-3! We did some tailgating prior to the game and watched the cheerleaders/band/dancers perform. The game was in the afternoon and we both got too much sun.

As usual, we took an assortment of photos.

Man do I keep getting older. Today I am turning the big 23! Pretty scary right? 22 wasn’t that bad because 22 is essentially 21, but 23 is almost 25… which is basically 30. Ok maybe I am getting carried away with it all.

Regardless, the world has officially been blessed with my presence for 23 long but increasingly getting shorter (so it seems) years.
