Ode to my broken computer. What grief thou has caused…

Sorry for the delay. This past month has been less than generous technology wise. I have posted a new article about my experience at Pacific Media Expo. The short answer, glad to see PMX making the move with more potential to grow. Here’s hoping the next move will be to the convention center two blocks away.
