The PES T&D Expo blog is up and running. In the past two years since the 2008 T&D Expo I have been to a lot of conferences. None of them took advantage of the the social networking technology like the blog. Blog - what a strange word. it comes from journalist John Barger. He made daily changes to his web page and called it a weblog (web log). Someone thought it read we blog. That was shortened to blog and the rest is history.

It's a great way to keep friends and family up to date on what is happening, which is why we do it. The PES family is about to have its biggest reunion ever! I am going to try find interesting people, products, and anything else I think will help us have a great time in New Orleans. Let me know what you find interesting. I need help because I can't see it all (as much as I try). So, send me comments on what has attracted your attention.
