Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of a This Week in Spring! I've just finished one of the most amazing experiences of my life - O'Reilly's "Foo Camp," an unconference where invited guests can camp on the O'Reilly Media campus headquarters and talk to each other. I met, among a zillion other people, former California governor Jerry Brown, former Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves, and so many more. Now I'm in terrific Texas talking to our wonderful customers in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Plano. I'm also speaking at the Dallas MUG tomorrow night, if you're around and want to come and hang out.

It's shaping up to be a fun week worth of content so let's get to it!
