This Tuesday, June 21st is Ignite Denver 9, and I was selected to speak!.  My talks is a ten point list of things to help you stop being dumb at computers.  This Ignite Denver is going to be a lot of fun.  It was our first time having a practice run prior to the big event.  I’m excited to see how this practice effects the talks.  I’ll tell you my final slide deck is much better than the one I took to practice.

Here is an image and video I found while putting my talk together.  Hope to see you Tuedsay at Ignite Denver.

Far out solid and right on Bob

I’ve been wondering just how long until Fletch starts drawing. Turns out it takes just over three and a half years.

Most people seem to be all up in arms about hip-hoppers overdoing it, but I’m still digging it. Mostly because I only listen to commercial radio when I drive rental cars and therefore control my Auto-Tune ingestion.

While we’re in the “Season of Auto Tune”, here is a collection of auto tune influenced videos that I just love to watch and watch over again.  If I missed any classic Auto-Tune action, please send me a link and update the collection.
