I'm not really dead...
Lots of life changes...busy, you know the deal.
In any case, I submitted a proposal for the 2008 Shmoocon CFP, and we were supposed to hear back by January 10th, 2008. I haven't heard yet, and it is the 11th, so, I'm thinking I'm out. Certainly, I know the shmoos are busy and may be running a bit behind, so I'll still hold out a little hope.
Regardless of my speaking status, I'll be in attendance, and at the Podcasters Meetup
See you there!
