Welcome to the First Post

Welcome to my blog Exporting to Seattle. I also have a site, www.exporting-to-seattle.com this will work with. My day job is working for a prominent trade development organization focused on assisting Australian companies to export to the US, and for me specifically Seattle.

I got into blogging last week after meeting Buzz Bruggeman at an event called ANZA Tech Conference 2006. I met Buzz earlier this year at a technology lunch at the Westin. We struck up a conversation about Australia and he turned me on to a guy in Australia into podcasting. Now, the world really is a small place as I ran into both Buzz and the podcasing bloke at the ANZA event. Cameron Reilly, an ex-Microsoft salesman from Melbourne runs a great podcasting site, www.thepodcastnetwork.com and has a blog at www.cameronreilly.com. Check them out.

This is new stuff for me so stay tuned. I'll be posting some of my web content over the next few weeks and hopefully you'll find it useful.

In the meantime think about selling to the US, especially Seattle. Don't worry, it does not rain as much as you think here (although today I think you will find some folks building an ark it's coming down so hard).
