Photo: StoreSkin (Austria) More than 15 years in digital signage has, admittedly, left me a little jaded. What can excite a bunch of people barely gets a shrug out of me when I see it or read about it.

Me and the boss took a side trip to Los Angeles several days ahead of DSE, for a few reasons: Get the f#ck out of the cold and snow; Take some meetings; Let her see LA for the 1st time.
