So, just back from a much needed—but far too brief—respite in Miami. Actually, I was up in Sunny Isles which is approximately 14 miles North of South Beach. If one is looking to hide somewhere in the world, Sunny Isles is as good a place as any—especially the Aqualina Hotel.

So, it looks like I will be speaking at the IPA Conference at the Westin in Chicago on Tuesday April 22. If any of you are planning to be there, I apologize in advance. This will only be the second time I've spoken in public—and as this is primarily a technical conference it should be pretty entertaining.

Me at the AIGA Conference in Vancouver

So excited that this is finally in beta! Can't wait to see everyone dive in!
