Frontrunners and Bookmark Tetris

Hey friends,

Conferences are back on the menu, friends! 👥

This month I'm speaking at Frontrunners, a JavaScript and Web Development conference held in Washington, DC area. If you're looking to nerd out on March 21, or happen to be in the area, there's a few days left to grab a ticket!
