[Spotlight] This Week’s Spotlight is Preempted… Except for an ArmadilloCon Programming Preview

This has been a crazy week with job nibbles — including about 3 hours of software assessments that have left me completely brain much.
A new self-publishing endeavor (it does seem to be coming together, though last night’s events may or may not effect that) has presented itself this week. Here’s hoping it works out.

I downloaded this from my cousin’s, Mallory, facebook page. She and her dad were in the theater. They’re unharmed, but we pray for everyone who is touched by this tragedy

And in light of last night’s events, I’ve not felt “spotlighty” today.

I’ll be completely back on track next week – even with ArmadilloCon next week. Here’s my preliminary programming scheduling. There’s good stuff here.
