MD Merch. This is the line on Friday. Were we here on Saturday you would see a sea of people who stretch from one edge of the picture to the other, and off to my left about a quarter of a mile. Glad to be here on Friday.

I feel like I’ve been running in place for a really long time. Well…a year. It FEELS like a long time. I moved my blogs over to a site I own and started the WordPress.org blogs and within two months the shownotes for the podcast had ground to a halt.
