Why I go to COFES – It’s not for the wine
I’ve gone to COFES for the past 10 or 15 years, I can’t remember, and don’t care. When Brad first started it he tried to get me to come, but I was either too busy or too cheap.

Are we entering a new era?
Maybe My cynical been-there done-that, you-can’t-impress-me attitude may be breaking down. Leonard Cohen sings, “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” He’s right. The ability to enter into immersive experiences is changing everything. So, maybe that’s not exactly what Cohen is singing about, but something is cracking wide open. We can trace the evolution of … Read more
