Two of my colleagues (Deborah Beckett and Elizabeth Urello) and I spoke about support at WordCamp Philadelphia this weekend. This is a modification of the talk I did in Nicaragua a few weeks ago.

The planning team worked their tails off: Ray Gulick, Maralyn…

WordCamp ABQ has been over for weeks now and it is high time I blog about it. Right? Right. We kicked the WCABQ2013 off with a rockin’ hackathon organized by a fantastic local volunteer, Brooks Walsh. Wait, what’s a hackathon?

A local web geek, Mark Casias, @teampoop, asked me to be on his podcast, Duke City Tech, and of course I obliged. I joined Geoff Petrie, Maralyn Beck, Lori Patton, and Mark to talk about some awesome tech stuff going on in the next few months in Albuquerque. Hilarity ensued:
