Live from Anaheim 2006 - Part 7

[Tannerman]

Given my previous post, I probably should explain more about my nametag. You see Karl bought these little digital signboard nametags for the Kidology staff to wear during the conference. They are programmable to display any message you want.

Note the nametag highlighted by arrow
(Hey, it was hard to get a self portrait!)

The tags run off little watch batteries and are held on to clothing via powerful magnets. By far, we've received more feedback from folks about the nametags than anything else. There is a definite "coolness" factor at play here. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some copycats at the next conference in two weeks down in Orlando.

Since part of our promotion in the eZone is giving away a video iPod, all the tags have been programmed to mention this element. Here's a short video I shot of what my nametag says:

First that looks like a really cool device. Second, nice facial expression Tanner.

Tanner-

Nice face man!! I have some ballooning friends that wear the badge to advertise that they do parties and such. They get a lot of interest in it. Hope all goes well at the CPC!!

But where's the part that says, "Hi, my name is Steve?"

Why would you want to put something like that on a NAME tag???

Don't need that, given that my name is already on our conference badges.
