Overview

As summer winds down, we discuss some of the events we’ve been going to and some still to come. Summer’s are always busy, and we try to enjoy everything about it.

Alan had a talk at the Akron Geek Fest, but it was kind of a bust. Not to worry – we both are giving several talks over the next several months.
