Looks like you’re swamped and immersed in interesting stuff (and not, with respect to the “things you’re ‘not doing'” – I like that).
I was reading your blog, and thought you (and your readers) might be interested in the upcoming Semantic Technology conference. You can check out their page at http://www.semantic-technology.com –
I think it is going to bring together a lot of interesting people and material. You can use the discount code STEH to save $100 on top of saving another $100 if you register before Feb 7.
