        But I'd mostly backburnered it. Until 2 weeks ago I was in Palo Alto for the amazing #scifoo unconference. I was staying in a nearby hotel. All was going well.

        I was curious if people thought I would plug it in. So I took a Very Scientific Poll: https://twitter.com/therealfitz/status/1153481175425605632 … Narrator: It wasn't, in fact, scientific at all
