Hey All!

The Commentist Bloc has gotten off to a great re-launch and we are overjoyed with the positive response we’re receiving to our two shows, The Unwind, a weekly chat about tech, games, gadgets, and geek culture, and Roll to Hit, a 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons live play podcast. The shows can also be found on iTunes and Stitcher.

I’ve got an exciting 7 days coming up, spanning a few different conferences. First up is PAX East 2015. The whole Commentist Bloc crew will be there to check out the latest in gaming and tech. Fingers crossed we get a good demo of the Oculus Rift.

Then I’ll be heading out to Austin for the SxSW EDU conference to speak on a panel called Turning Public Data into Public Knowledge, where I’ll be discussing the importance of data transparency in education and specifically how that impacts school choice in Hartford.

I’ll be wrapping up my trip by checking out the SxSW Gaming Expo. So if you’re planning on attending any of these events, be sure to drop me a line to meet up and say hi!
