**Mrinal Desai** will be hopping on the soapbox here at ZURB on Friday, January 30th at noon for his presentation entitled *The Cat, The Dog, and Web 2.0: Observations On Their Social Convergence*. Check out the details below and drop us a line at
getstarted@zurb.com if you'd like to attend.
Mrinal helped LinkedIn explode in its early days and is now a co-founder and current VP of Sales and Business Development at [CrossLoop][1], a computer "help" marketplace that's [building some buzz][2]. We know him as one of ZURB's neighbors here in downtown Campbell and bump into him at Starbucks where he reads the Wall Street Journal cover-to-cover every day. We're excited to have him kicking off our first ZURBsoapbox event.
Be sure to checkout his timely series of blog posts themed *[I Know What I Did the Last Time I Was Unemployed][3]* where he's mentioned key [people he met][4] and how he got "[addicted to the chase][5]." Mrinal also [tweets here][6]. Awesome stuff.
