Today&#8217;s the day, kiddos.
I&#8217;m already in the glorious swampland known as Louisiana and putting the finishing touches on my presention&#160;about Mobility in SMB.
The gloves are coming off, and it&#8217;s being recorded for posterity.
Here&#8217;s hoping I don&#8217;t fall on my posterior, and that everything&#8217;s real horrorshow.
Wish me luck!
