I’m giving a talk at Nerd Nite Tokyo next month! I’ll be speaking about one of my favorite hobbies — singing the “wrong” songs at karaoke. I’ll probably write more about that here sometime, but for now I’ve got to focus on getting my slides ready.
By pure coincidence, it also happens the other speaker that night, Benjamin Poynter, will also be talking about karaoke! Looking forward to hearing his talk as well. If you’re in town, I’d love to see you there.
