Since I’ll be in Austin for the ALT.NET Open Space Conference early next month, my friend, Jeffrey Palermo, asked me to give a talk at the Austin .NET User Group while I was in town.

They even let me of al people give two talks. Nolan […]
I am now a card-carrying member of the MSDN Canada Speakers Bureau*. (OK, maybe they don’t issue cards, but it’s still a great honour.)
