Please note that this recording was intended for last week. I had thought I lost my recording after suffering a power outage immediately after recording haste. Luckily the file was recoverable so please ignore the announcement, as a winner has already been selected for the caption contest and we’ll have November’s up shortly. Thanks!

UPDATE: Dave has confirmed that he will be attending our panel! He will be speaking alongside us and taking questions from the audience as well. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
