I’m Speaking at Le Web (when you’re all listening to The Doctor)

I’ll Be At BlogWorld Expo Next Weekend… Will You?

Not quite a last minute decision, as I’ve been keeping an eye on flights and everything else surrounding next weekend’s BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas, but over the weekend I booked the flight tickets from Edinburgh to the city of a billion lights… which were all paid for by people loosing at Blackjack.
