TidalTV Goes Live in Beta

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Check out TidalTV.com, the latest new venture from Advertising.com founder Scott Ferber. Think of it as a big streaming MSO in the sky. I like the interface and the quality of the streaming. It is very comprehensive with lots of top notch TV shows. I think this will be a hit. Note I have made an investment in this company, so I am naturally biased.

Ernst & Young Awards

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I was flattered to be honored at the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award ceremony last night at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner, Va.

I was given the Master Entrepreneur award which is code for ”old guy” plaque. :-) It is touching and I had a lot of fun being in the company of so many business leaders. It was also a thrill to have the award given to me by Steve Case. There were so many great companies represented last evening. Our area is still booming and we have great leaders in our business community.

Thanks EY. And thank you to the judges.
