I posted this picture of Franklin Karp and me on Facebook last week. We recently saw each other at a trade show. After knowing each other for decades, it turns out his son and my godson are best friends. We never knew the connection till the kids saw us together on FB.

Bernie Appel, former President of Radio Shack, claims he’s been at every CES too. Not sure if he’s kidding me.

Met this mommy blogger at a CES event and became instantly jealous of her. She wears a Go Pro on her hat wherever she goes. She edits with iMovie.

I bought these chairs on eBay for a price that was lower than a two person dinner at a fancy NYC restaurant. I bet they last forever in my NYC apt. Oh, I forgot to mention, no shipping charges.

The guy all the way over to the right, is a photo editor at The Miami Herald. We met online when I pitched one of Eliot’s photos. He came to our holiday party because he was curious to see the view where the photos were being taken and to meet the photographer. The woman, directly to his left, is his wife, a former managing editor of the Miami Herald.

Hannah Lansky, on the left, with her 87-year old mother from St.Louis, pose with a friend. Below is the salon Hannah owns in Miami called Hannah and Her Scissors. Less then two months ago, my friend Steve showed a few of us the outside of Hannah’s salon which reminded us of the beauty parlor in Steel Magnolias. We were taking pictures of this funky place when all of a sudden, Hannah swings open the door with great authority and asks us exactly what we were doing? After a quick confrontation, we were all invited in to meet this multi-talented lady. Both Hannah and her mom attended our July 4th party.
