My SFContario schedule:
It’s that time again: time for Toronto’s SF crowd to join together in the avoidance of solicitation and the enjoyment of alienation. SFContario is this weekend, November 9-12. Barring any last-minute changes, this is my schedule.
The Toronto Hackerspace Adventure Tour, 16 June
