Gone Fishin’
As you may have noticed it’s been a little quiet around these parts lately. The silence has been the result of the arrival of daughter number three a little over three weeks ago. For the past two months or so I’ve been spending a lot of time with my wife, who was on strict bedrest, and my two girls. I was able to do a number of things with them that I’m not typically able to do due to professional commitments. However, I did have to put a number of things on hold and scale back on several others Now that things are starting to stabilize I plan on getting back into my usual groove…in September. I plan on unplugging, as much as possible, for the months of June, July, and August. During this time there will be no blog posts, no tweets, or no status updates. I did this last year and came back feeling very energized and excited. I plan on using the time to plan out the next year or so, finish up a side project, and pursue some non-technical interests.
With that said, I do have some talks already scheduled for this summer/fall that I thought I’d make you aware of before I signoff:
June 19th - I’ll be giving two talks at the Kansas City Developers Conference. One talk will be on Windows Phone 7, the other will be on Git.
September 8th - I’ll be teaching a four hour Silverlight bootcamp at the Heartland Developers Conference. The cost is a mere $25 for a half day of Silverlight, including Windows Phone 7.
September - The date has yet to be finalized, but some time at the end of September I’ll be talking about Windows Phone 7 at the Minnesota Developers Conference.
October 12th - I’ll be presenting Git at the Twin Cities Developers Guild.
November 4th - I’ll be talking about the Managed Extensiblity Framework (MEF) at the Twin Cities .NET User Group.
See you after Labor Day!
