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!

The question mark is because I am not sure. The blogosphere and twitterosphere is going nuts with updates on this date.
I hope that it is the 18th!
