Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

I am! And boy-oh-boy am I excited! This is going to be a great year, I can see it already. (Click here or on the image to register)

Last year I had to beg and scrape to get myself to Chicago for what turned out to be a truly life-altering experience (another big thank-you to everyone who made that possible!). This year I will be giving a presentation on Friday!

Check out this august list of people that will be there, sharing their knowledge:
