Good Karma, Lost Laptops, Keys, the Cloud, and Office 2.0 Conference

Posted by Jason M. Lemkin on Aug 26, 2008 10:32:52 PM

Office 2.0 is without a doubt the most enjoyable conference/confab of the year.

Good karma and good things come from this.

Last year, I had the privilege of speaking on an early panel at Office 2.0. Perhaps it was 7:30am. Goodness, whenever it was, it was early. In the stupor of my early morning drive up from Palo Alto, I accidentally left my laptop bag in a hotel public area before I spoke. About halfway through the panel, I had that sinking feeling when I'd realized what I'd done. Sure enough, when I finished up, the bag was gone. Stolen. Taken. Gone.

Because of Office 2.0 technologies and vendors, my laptop was not a concern. My data was all in the Office 2.0 cloud — Salesforce.com; EchoSign; Zoho Writer; Hosted Outlook Exchange (Intermedia), TypePad, etc. I could just pick up another computer back at HQ.

But my keys were in the bag as well... argh. The car up in San Francisco. The office in Palo Alto. The home even further south. And no spare... Office 2.0 technology hadn't figured this out yet.

Fortunately, the good karma of the Office 2.0 Conference resolved even this pickle. After a desperate search for my bag, I informed the Office 2.0 conference staff. Somehow, ten minutes later, my laptop bag (keys intact) had been recovered from the St. Regis lobby, where someone had "borrowed it" — and was on the way out the door — but was miraculously apprehended in the lobby.

Magic. Good karma. The Office 2.0 Conference.

Message to all attendees: the Office 2.0 Conference is great, but karma is in short supply sometimes, so please keep track of all your personal belongings, for we cannot guarantee such magical things to happen everytime. Thank you for your cooperation!

Since the 19th century, manufacture ofLouis Vuitton replica goods have not changed: Luggage is still made by hand. Contemporary Fashion gives a preview of the creation of the vuitton trunks: the craftsmen line up the leather and canvas, tapping in the tiny nails one by one and securing the five-letter solid pick-proof brass locks with an individual handmade key, designed to allow the traveler to have only one key for all of his or her luggage. The woven frames of each trunk are made of 30-year-old poplar that has been allowed to dry for at least four years. Each trunk has a serial number and can take up to 60 hours to make, and a suitcase as many as 15 hours.Many of the company's products utilize the signature brown Damier and Monogram Canvas materials, both of which were first used in the late 19th century. All of the company's products exhibit the eponymous lv. The company markets its product through its own stores located throughout the world, which allows it to control product quality and pricing. It also allows LV to prevent counterfeit products entering its distribution channels. louis vuitton has no discount sales nor does it have any duty-free stores.
