This morning I had the opportunity to talk with Bob Steel at KARN News Radio about Carry the Load and encourage all Arkansans to participate in some way as the relay comes through our state. Here is a recording of some of our discussion.
Today I attended the Made By Few conference in Little Rock that bills itself as the “anti-huge conference.” The speakers were national, inspirational and relevant to design and to technology. I walked away having met new people, learned new things and generally felt inspired to continue my quest to experience and try things outside my comfort zone to drive new thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and was proud that we had something of this caliber in Little Rock for technology and design. I will definitely be participating again next year.
Here are my notes from today’s sessions.

{love a cold May}
I’m one of those people that is not anxious for summer weather, so the fact that it was 50-degrees today did not upset me at all. And I was in a conference room all day, anyway, for the Made By Few design and tech conference in Little Rock

It is officially May and that means it is officially Memorial Month. This year I am taking part in Carry the Load, an organization whose mission it is to bring back the true meaning of Memorial Day. The national relay component of Carry the Load has already started and is headed our way to Arkansas. It will be in Little Rock on TUESDAY May 21st. You can participate in a 4 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM or 10 PM in North Little Rock and Little Rock on TUESDAY May 21st.
I will be walking in memory of my brother, Robert James Reeves, who died in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. He was funny, smart, compassionate and my best friend. I miss him every day. But I know that he died doing the job that he loved and that he felt was important for our country. I will be carrying Rob. Who will you be carrying?
