2008 August

I was fortunate to attend Gnomedex 8.0 last week. I was there as both an attendee, and Chris/Ponzi’s right hand girl. Every year, the conference has a theme. This year, it was “Human Circuitry”. Now that I’m home and well-rested (yeah, right. me? rest?) again, I’ve been thinking about what exactly Human Circuitry means.

Yep, that picture makes it official. I am registered to attend Gnomedex. Of course, I won’t be there as a conference attendee. I’ll be running around in the background, helping Chris and Ponzi with anything and everything they think of.
The lineup of speakers for this year is simply amazing. I definitely can’t wait [...]
