The Week in Imaging

Occasionally a friend’s Facebook post is good for something other than being annoying. Earlier this week, a Facebook friend posted a link to an article, “27 Science Fictions that Became Facts in 2012” from the myscienceacademy.org Website. I realize that the post, which was Read More

I guess if Valentine’s Day was a real holiday, none of you would be at work today. Then again, good luck telling your significant other that Valentine’s Day isn’t a real holiday. I wouldn’t go there that’s for sure. In keeping with the spirit of the day, I’m going to share with Read More

I just finished interviewing Chip Miceli, president of DPOE in Elk Grove, IL for a couple of articles I’m writing for ENX and The Cannata Report. As I was preparing for my interview, I got to thinking about how Chip is a familiar face at industry events, not just dealer meetings. Read More
