Because I’m a glutton for punishment and it has been nearly 2 months since I was in Australia, I will be heading down under this Friday.  I will be delivering the Web 2.0 Executive Bootcamp as a workshop annex to Web Directions South.  And I’m very pleased that Stephen Collins of Acid Labs will be joining me in the delivery.  If you are going to be in Sydney next week, it is still not too late to sign up.  See you there?
