Just a quick reminder that we will be at the Silicon Valley code camp tomorrow, Saturday Oct 27th for a live recording. If you are in the bay area, why not come on by and see us. Better yet, come and spend the whole day geeking out on all things Java (Saturday seems to be the Java day, even though the camp is on for the whole weekend).

It's not too late to sign up, go to:

http://www.siliconvalley-codecamp.com/AttendeeRegistration.aspx

If you don't live in the Bay Area or can't make it, the Posse episode should be up some time on Sunday so please be patient. Thanks.
