I’m in NYC for NRF’s Big Show.  It’s pretty chilly in NYC staying between 30-35F, although it’s considered warm for most NRF shows.  We got very lucky this morning as forecasters yesterday were predicting up to 9 inches of snow during the night.  Fortunately, when I woke up, only about an inch had fallen and it was already melted except on rooftops. 

I’ve spent the majority of my time in customer and vendor meetings so I haven’t had a chance to get out and see what’s new.  I’m hoping to do that tomorrow. 

ARTS, the standards body for NRF announced yesterday the release of the Service Oriented Architecture Blueprint for Retail which I was quoted for.  There seems to be a lot of interest in the document at the show.  I’m looking forward to hearing feedback on the blueprint as the team put in many hours in the construction.
