Brad and I will be presenting our Super Ninja Privacy Techniques for Web App Developers talk at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco on Tuesday, April 17. If you’re attending, please drop by and say hi. We had a great response to the talk when we gave it at ETech, and it was fantastic to meet so many Wesabeans who attended. Hope to see you there!
