This industry is funny.  We interact with each other via email and telephone and a few times a year, we actually see each other.  It's sometimes hard to imagine each other in our day-to-day lives since we only get to see short glimpses of our real lives.  So in an effort to share some of the more mundane aspects of producing conferences and exhibitions, we've now got a "Daily Entertainment" category. 

Today's Daily Entertainment came in the form of a fur-covered, four-legged beast known as Dexter.  You may know Mark Balestra, our esteemed publisher of IGamingNews.com and the Internet Gambling Report and it is he that is responsible for bringing Dexter to the office almost daily. 

Dexter is named after a TV program of the same name that shows on Showtime in the US.  The program is about a homicide detective who moonlights as a serial killer in his free time (I know, interesting premise, right?) and the furry version lives up to his namesake.  There's not a fluffy stuffed animal or water dish that is safe from his sharp and menacing teeth.  Trash bins quiver in fear under his watchful gaze and vein hope of something edible being discarded within so he can pounce and spread the wrappings around the floor of the office.  Passersby look on in anxious anticipation of whether he'll bound over the rickety fence barring him from the outdoors and pounce on them, possibly tearing their throats out. 

I give you...Dexter:

He's vicious.  Vicious, I tell you!
