#Informal Poll:

If there were a service available to help you proactively track, prevent, and combat fraud (i.e. companies selling your personal information), would you use it? Assuming so, how much would you be willing to pay for such a service?

Years ago, I attended a presentation where the slide deck was presented via a terminal. And attendees could connect to it to follow along. Any idea what took provides features like that these days?

Yeah ... I'm gonna miss this view. #CoderCruise

Every conference. I meet amazing people, learn about amazing ideas and projects, and feel inspired to accomplish so much.

This time, that inspiration coincided with yet another Namecheap prompt to renew domains I purchased 3 years ago for a post conference project I never finished.
