I was reading through your review and got stopped cold at the “unshackable grapes”.

I’ve never heard of such a law.

What happens if you break this law and how on earth could they even catch you?

Seems more than a tab bit unreasonable.

Glad I’m just going to be a Maryland tourist this summer

Yay! June fits in perfectly with our scheduled vacation the the States and its a while since we have been to Baltimore. This seems a good reason to visit. We have Ignitebaltimore in our schedule and hope to post back on our impressions.

Jasons talk “how not to be a zombie” would have beeen so so amazing to see, plus” thats is a killer title”. Im shocked at the turn out 400 attendees and 16 speakers. The event will be even bigger for #6.

It seemed to really convey the intent of Ignite – get up there, get your message across & make it interesting! Definitely will go again, to both cities!

Hey Braddock,
Figured I wasn’t the first to come up with that moniker. Greatly enjoyed your preso and glad you are finding a way to build a business around your passion (that’s always a good route to take, I say).
I fought temptation to make a play on your last name as it relates to the fish world…probably wouldn’t be the first to have thought of that either, eh?

In either case, your fish-friendly name and your resource links provided a highly sustainable source of entertainment and information.
Thanks again.
You’re a good sport.
Best of luck to you,
Renee

Hey Renee,
“Braddock the Haddock” brings back some memories! My 4th grade math teacher called me that and I thought he was trying to humiliate me out of school. Little did I know he was priming me for a career in the fish world.

Glad I got you thinking about seafood. Generally, bigger and longer-lived species (like ahi tuna, swordfish) contain the highest mercury levels. Better alternatives are squid, trout, and scallops. And the farmed vs wild issue isn’t cut and dried….farmed oysters and clams are usually more sustainable than wild, but wild Alaskan salmon is much better than salmon raised in South America.

Thanks for the great review of IB4!

Great recap and video! I was at TwtrconDC, but now wishing I had gone to Ignite instead. Next time, for sure!

Hey Rob,
Glad you enjoyed your nights out. I think now that Annapolis has one Ignite under their belts, they can tweak and adjust as needed for #2. I’ve attended both Baltimore and DC events and I’m as entertained by the crowds as the speakers. Not only does the rapid-fire slideshow present speakers with a challenge to manage, (more so for those who have not rehearsed against a 5-min stopwatch), but to present while half of your audience is tweeting while you’re talking provides another layer of mental adjustments.
Given the format, I think anyone who gets up on that stage deserves a nod for putting themselves out there for our consumption. As I said to Mike Subelsky after Thursday’s event, I always walk away feeling energized. It’s cool to go to an event where people are encouraged to be who they are so completely. It’s absolutely refreshing.
Thanks for your comment and no need to take notes at Ignite #5…I’m on the job.

Best,
Renee
