See Us at SCALE11x (and other updates)

Are you attending SCALE11x in Los Angeles this weekend? I look forward to SCALE every year and was excited to have a USENIX booth in the expo again. I think my first SCALE was five years ago when I was working at Linux Pro Magazine, and I immediately fell in love with the great community event and made a ton of friends while I was there. This year, Mother Nature called and dumped a foot of snow on lovely, Lawrence, Kansas. Next thing you know Southwest Airlines texts to say my flight is canceled, and now I'm stuck in Kansas instead of gloating about the lovely weather I've escaped to in L.A. Luckily, Julie Miller will still make it to SCALE11x, so be sure to stop by our USENIX booth to say Hi! And if you can't make it to SCALE11x, you can follow along at home by watching the #scale11x tweets.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:
