“Will it Blend” for Novell?
They blended a bunch of mobile phones. They blended glow sticks. They even blended an iPod! So when Novell’s on-staff video producer Russ Dastrup said, “Let’s go to Blendtec and make a BrainShare video!” Erin Quill and I didn’t hesitate.

Tom Dickson, CEO of Blentec, is an engineer at heart. He invented the blender, made it with a vacuum cleaner engine. Here’s Erin and Tom with the blender full of–
Hey! Why can’t we see what they were blending?!
And here’s me with my new engineer friend Tom.
So what, then, did three dudes from Novell take to Blendtec? Some things are not meant to be found out…until BrainShare.
Hahaha, awesome!
