Looking forward to speaking at Swift Rockies next week, plus performing the very first ever Calgary Breakpoint Jam with @designatednerd@mastodon.social, @swifteves@mastodon.social, @dvrzan@iosdev.space, @cocoaphony@mastodon.social, and @dimsumthinking!
(Also I believe the first mention of the band in a calgary.tech article.)
Ticket sales end today! I hope to see you there!

Hey folks - it looks like someone is impersonating me here on Mastodon.
The fake account is

If you get a follow request from that account, it is *not* me.
