This gives you valuable time with your clientele during tradeshows and conventions or staff during demanding training and seminars. Relax, let your Tech Travel Agent© manage your next event.

Port Middletown 02, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

On July 18, 1825 work began on the Miami Canal in Middletown. The Miami and Erie Canal was a canal that connected the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio with Lake Erie in Toledo, Ohio.

This photo is part of a tribute to in the canal and its influence on the past successes of Middletown, Ohio.

2007 has been a rebuilding year for Middletown city and schools. With a new mayor, new city manager and new members on city council and Middletown School Boards, lets look to 2008 to be a successful year in the city’ history.

Video Wall, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

Jim and Raj Jain are the father and son team from ICC.

ICC is one of Rentacomputer.com’s largest trading partners. In this photo, Jim and Raj are standing in front of a 9 panel video wall that is worth over six figures yet rents for less than five.

Video walls are the ultimate in plasma display technology. Each panel is equal to a 42″ plasma flat screen without the bezel.

The most common configuration is with 4 of these panels, but any number of panels can be used in conjunction with one another. Yes you could do an entire wall with these panels.

A special software program resides on a laptop computer so all images appear as one large image.

For more information on renting plasma video walls, please visit Rentacomputer.com’s Plasma Video Wall Rental Information Page

Here I am at the October 28, 2007 game, Steelers vs Bengals. My mission was to keep #38, Fullback Carey Davis drinking Gatorade Electrolyte. In the meantime, I did get to see the game from the coaches perspective.

It was great being with the team this year with their new coach, Mike Tomlin. However, Bill Cowher was more intense and in your face. Also, one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, Kenny Anderson was there as Pittsburgh’s new assistant coach.

Thanks to Head Trainer John Norwig for needing and additional trainer on the field in Cincinnati. In the 8 games that I assisted, the Steelers have won every time. But don’t give me all the credit.

What will become of the George M. Verity Statue?

/ By / In AK Steel, AKS, Armco, George M. Verity, Statue / 1 Comment


Founder of Armco, George Verity Statue, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

He moved ARMCO to Middletown, Ohio which is now AK Steel (AKS), in 1901. The community of Middletown convinced George to locate his steel mill in Middletown from its current location near the Ohio River in Cincinnati.

His statue has been left behind after the company moved its headquarters from Middletown to West Chester, Ohio.

What will become of George’s statue? Is it appropriate to move it to West Chester? Should it be moved to the city building or other city owned park or location?

I asked Alan McCoy, AK Steel spokesperson that very question. I will publish his answer when I hear back from Alan.
