For those of you who might be curious about what we’re doing this weekend, it’s She’s Geeky in Mountain View. It will be my 2nd time attending this conference with my esteemed colleague, Jennelle Crothers, fellow Microsoft MVP and all around smarty pants.

This conference format is actively CHOSEN by the participants. Sessions are proposed, it’s very democratic and cool.
