This just in: I’m not geeky enough for @igniteboulder

I was going to wait for the video from my “Be Your Own Guitar Hero” presentation at Ignite Boulder 11 to be posted before I blogged about it. But I think it will take a few posts to get my full thoughts out. Overall, I think the evening went incredibly smoothly – the all-volunteer organizers [...]

So people are trying to refer to Ignite Boulder 8 as Igneight, but I’ll have none of that stuff.
