New to San Francisco! My First 8 Observations!
Cali is my new home! I love living near San Francisco, and going to Silicon Valley. Being in Tech, this is the place to be!
But here are a few observations I have seen from moving from the East Coast!
• Tesla’s are everywhere. I love Tesla and there are no shortage out in the West!
• T-shirts rule the day. I see them on their own, under hoodies, and even under suit jackets.
• Kale is a major food group. I have eaten more Kale in the last months than in my entire life!
• Vball rocks. Yep, at Stanford, they even have a band and cheerleaders for volleyball games. Back in NY it is football, Lacrosse that rule. Not here! My daughters are thrilled (my oldest made second team all-district!)
• No main food. In Texas, you must have TexMex and Barbque, in NY, Italian, but what is the food of Cali? It is healthy and very diverse!
• Longchamp bags. My purse is a Longchamp that is a cool, Parisan bag, that I carry everywhere. No one I know in NY carries one but here I see them everywhere!
• Talented nice, helpful people abound. In NYC, I could find a great restaurant at every corner, In San Francisco, I find great talent and people at every corner.

Are you focused? Happy New Year! #socbiz #cloud #iot #growthhacking
In reviewing my New Year resolutions, I was reading some quotes. This one struck me. “Make a strong and permanent commitment to invest your talents only in pursuits that deserve your best efforts.”
One of the topics that fascinates me is the concept of time AND energy management. You see, it’s all about focus.
What endeavors are worthy of your most precious resource – your time?
Where's your focus in the new year?

IBM SmartCamp is fueling the next generation of enterprise grade solutions to transform business, streamline customer experience, increase efficiencies and reduce business costs. And what an exciting year 2015 has been for this program!
First, this past fall SmartCamp, in collaboration with LAUNCH, brought together ten finalists from around the world to San Francisco to showcase their solutions, network with investors, and gain new skills to take back home in preparation for the final stage of SmartCamp at LAUNCH Festival March 2-4, 2016 in San Francisco.
Then, last week, the global momentum continued with Israel and India hosting their own unique SmartCamp events, recently announcing winners, NSLcomm from Israel and Sirion Labs from India.
