Reminder: ETech and "Life Hacks Live" next week

ETech's coming Just a reminder that it’s less than a week until the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference kicks off in San Diego. Danny and I are, as you can imagine, completely relaxed since we’ve had our presentation airtight for months now. ::ducks::

If you’re going to be at ETech, I hope you can stop by our session, or at least say hi if you see us hanging around. I’ll be the one with the Mac, looking disoriented and vaguely panicked.

(Also, keep an eye out: if you’re very good, finish your greens, and stop fighting with your sister, I may have a couple fun announcements early next week. Stay tuned.)
