For those not in the Twitter stream, a week ago I broke my foot in three places. Last weekend, I Twittered about it and joked about getting my wheelchair sponsored for Web 2.0 Expo, which started today. Within seconds, Zivity raised their hand, which shocked me. Potentially too racy for a Jive sponsorship, they were immediately followed by the kind folks at Capgemini and FG Squared, who told me they’d happily do it. I mocked a goofy picture up and showed them what it would look like. I wanted to bring the Enterprise Octopus to life and hand out stickers of her (it’s a she). Both companies were really supportive of this wacky idea, and low-and-behold one week before the conference, I’m a rolling booth for “people-focused” work.
Unpacking the Octopus
Assembly…and more tomorrow
So tomorrow we’ll assemble this sucker and cruise to Moscone. I have some super kick-butt Enterprise Octopus stickers. Want one? You’ll need to say “hi.” I’ll also have a video camera so I can interview those who aren’t shy. I’d love any pics that people take of this nutty thing so I can post a follow up blog post on it. So please send any you care to share.
kick ass at the conference!
