Last week I took a tour of Michigan giving my “Doing More With Less – PLINQ” talk to three user groups (Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Flint). It was a great time! All three groups were fun to visit. It’s always interesting to see how other groups are run and how their meetings go. While I was traveling around I stayed one evening with Dave Giard, a friend of mine I worked with several years ago.

I’ll be speaking at the Indy Code Camp next Saturday, May 16th. I spoke last year at this event and to me it seemed to be the start of when I really started to get pulled into the greater .NET community. They have a great facility and what looks to be an awesome line up of sessions. I’ll be presenting two talks in the “Beyond Lines of Code” track. Hope to see you there!

All the ads on NPR over the last few months for “Pure Michigan” have driven me to visit. Well, not really, but I do hear quite a few ads for cities in Michigan. This week I’ll be visiting three user groups in Michigan to give my PLINQ (Parallel LINQ) talk. The groups are: West Michigan .NET User Group - Tuesday, May 12th in Grand Rapids, MI. Ann Arbor .NET Developer’s Group - Wednesday, May 13th in Ann Arbor, MI.
