TechEd Boston – Day Five: The End is Here
Today at 9am Don and I repeated the Service Factory chalk talk. Since this was fairly early in the morning, and also after the attendee party, we didn’t expect too many folks to show up. We were pleasantly surprised to have about 20 people show up, including

TechEd Boston – Day Two: A scary tale with a good ending and 2 back-to-back parties
