Learning to Blog...

I am in Austin at the technology conference. We are having a blast! The highlight so far has been hearing Christopher Gardner speak and having him sign my book... Pursuit of Happyness. (I can spell... sometimes... it is that way on the book.) I am in a workshop teaching to blog! :) Going well so far...
