Mike’s New Blog

Mike Alexander has decided to start his own blog. It’s called Bacon Bits, which fits into the whole Data Pig Technologies theme.Mike promises to add significant new posts every day, and as he says “Don’t worry, it will be great…you’ll love it.”

Mike’s a fellow Microsoft Excel MVP, and the two of us run a three day Excel Dashboard and Visualization Bootcamp a couple times per year, most recently last month in Dallas. We’ll probably do it again in September or October.

Advanced Excel Conference

Bob Umlas and I are hosting an Advanced Excel Conference next week, Wednesday and Thursday, June 17-18.

It’s two days of Excel programming and charting, and despite the late date, it’s not too late to sign up.

Bob’s yet another Microsoft Excel MVP, and he’ll be teaching Intermediate Excel VBA and Excel UserForms. I’ll be covering Advanced Charting and Using Excel with Other Applications (mostly PowerPoint).

Busy June

As anyone with kids knows, June is the busiest month of the year. This year has been particularly busy, with the high school graduation of my middle daughter (technically her graduation was late in May, but it all blurs together).

There’s also the proms, year end concerts and recitals, the sports banquets, the awards nights, finals, and lots of other fun activities spread over May and June.

June’s full of other occasions as well. Today is my anniversary (26 years), and tomorrow’s my birthday (the big five-oh!). Another daughter has a birthday next week. And I want to wish a belated birthday to Kim and Kelley Deal (only one day late).
