I have a tech job. And, like the throngs of other people in Silicon Valley we all have parents who don’t even try to understand what we do because, you know…it’s technical. “Oh he works in technology,” my Mom would say to friends and family at holidays. No other details. She never tried to understand. Well all that changed last week when NBC came into the DeviceVM office to do an interview. I’ve tried to explain a thousand times what Splashtop does because I think it’s easy enough to understand. But, my mother just says, “that sounds real nice honey.” I know she doesn’t get it.

Why is it, then, that when Scott Budman, NBC news correspondent, talks about Splashtop it suddenly makes sense? I guess that’s why he’s on TV and I write a blog. After this aired last week, my Mom called me excitedly, “Scott Budman says that Splashtop can get you online in seconds!” Thanks, Scott, for giving my Mom something to talk about at Maj Jong next week.
