My first session. Thomas Mulready discusses his creation, Cool Cleveland

Truth is, Thomas is one of the Coolest people in Cleveland. Why? because he really cares about Cleveland. This is a guy, who is really trying to make a positive change in Cleveland. His strategy? Use the web and e-mail, focus on informing people about the positive things going on in Cleveland.

Thomas is not a designer, so, you might ask, why he is talking here. Honestly, I'm not sure why he was chosen, but I'm glad he was.

1. He is not afraid to embrace information technology
   
2. He is really thinking through how to use it.
   
3. He is interested in real information, not flash, bells and whistles.
   
4. He really wants to do something truly good.
