Ignite

[fflo]

Hey, I got into Ignite Ann Arbor 2, on stand-by. Psyched.

The business school has tremendously swanky digs. This may be the best auditorium seat I've ever sat in.

I see going to grab that link that the talks will be streamed. Tune in if it's Friday eve as you're reading, and you'd like to hear some 5-minute talks with 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 minutes seconds. Tonight's program here:
