So, I work a lot but usually I consider myself very responsible with my personal electronic devices. Until Today, when I totally threw that statistic out the window.
During my departure form the Cygility Irvine office I placed my cell phone on the roof of my car for just a moment bad idea. Then proceeded to drive off to the 405 freeway, after 10 minutes and 2 exits later, I realized my phone was somewhere else. After another 5 minutes of sheer “blank’dom” I realized it was on the roof - and proceeded to retrace the route I drove.
My friend Haroon discovered it in the gutter on Research Drive, and this is where the story ends…RIP little buddy.
I just ordered a Pearl…mmmm - cannot wait.

So I was at the recent UFC fight in Anaheim. It was such a great event…anyway, our Sponsor (Yahoo Search Marketing) was able to get Randy Couture to come to our Suite for photo opps! I wasn’t a fan before this event, but I think I’ll set the Tivo to record a few fights right now.

*Thanks again to the Yahoo! team and Ben for such a great event, and afternoon!
