I will be at C4C starting tonight helping out with the charity org , Community Services League. It looks like a relatively straight-forward project but based on past experience, it will always be an exciting challenge to design, architect, implement and deploy any project within 2 days! If someone tells you otherwise, let me know, I sure would like to talk to them :)
To get a quick feel of how it was last year, check the cool video out!
See ya there!

It's hard to believe that 2 months in the new year have already flown by! Hope ya'll are having a great year, just like me :)
I will be speaking at this month's Kansas City Office Geeks monthly user group meeting (Thursday, March 4) at Centriq over by 87th and State Line from 6 to 8 PM.
The topic is quite exciting and deals with WCF and SharePoint 2010. Nothing too techie, more an outline of how the SharePoint core service architecture is built upon WCF to provide a robust and highly flexible Service Application Model. Check out the USGS site for more information.
I am also signed up for Coders 4 Charities (C4C) this year although given the commitments at home and work, I am not sure how much I can contribute. It does like it is shaping up to be a blockbuster event.
If you are free and would like to spend some time for the community, check it out!

A little later than expected, but attached are my slides. You can view or download them from Slideshare.
SharePoint Saturday was a blast and I had a great time both presenting and being a part of the organizing team 
Look forward to making this event even more of a blockbuster next year!
Enjoy!

P.S: I snapped off a (g)rainy pic of the iconic Sears tower on the cab ride to the airport. Gloomy pictures have something to them, don't they!
