I had the pleasure of attending last night's Angel's baseball game with Altronix and LRG here in hot, muggy California. The air-conditioned suite at the stadium was a much-appreciated detail. As I heard the crack of the bat, the cheer of the crowd and the buzz of conversations that were going around me, I couldn't help but notice how baseball and security are related.

Kicking off a tradeshow on Monday seems a little bit strange to me, and apparently many others who were at the show. It certainly doesn't diminish the quality of product exhibits, though it seems that a lot of attendees might have used Monday as a travel day to California.

I consider myself pretty well traveled having gone to Canada, the UK, and Mexico, and to various places across the United States, including Hawaii, and stayed in some amazing hotels.
