Comments

Tony Stubblebine:

Dan, thanks for the kind words. We're scheduled to have feedback for the Web 2.0 conference in April. So if you end up speaking at any conferences after that (like maybe the Adaptive Path series) you'll get your wish.

Doug LeMoine:

Hey, Dan. Looking forward to seeing you, catching up, all that good conference stuff.

Cindy Chastain:

Boy, would I love that. I've got the boots and the hard hat, but would love to hear your take on other necessary provisions.

Milissa Tarquini:

Hi Dan! Long time no see - hope we can catch up at the conference...
