Hi, Spring fans! As I write this I'm on a plane winging my way to Helsinki, Finland. A new year and new journeys begin. It's going to be cold there. Wish me luck! Do you know what always warms me up? The thrill of learning. And this week's no different. This week we've got some good stuff line up so let's get right into it!
