The ARM Dude was at the ARA show this past week (February 8-10, 2010) and did a little video blogging while he was there. Here’s the result:
That’s Great but Will it Clean My Floors?
Hey Ya’ll, It’s the ARM Dude here! My three dogs and I drive my wife crazy by tracking in mud and dirt on our feet getting her clean floors dirty. This sometimes causes some friction around the house. In fact, whenever we have someone coming over to visit, she locks the dogs and me outside [...]

Hey ya’ll, it’s the ARM Dude here. I just finished a conversation with a prospect regarding the systems they use to manage their operations.
