Where you can find me at the PASS Summit

November 1, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Fortunately, those grueling marathons are fading into the past. I still have a busy slate ahead of me for next week.  But it looks like I'll even have time to attend some sessions.  Yeah!  Here's what I've currently got planned: Monday, Nov 2 Depart for … [Read more...]

August 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
