It has really been a moth, and with all that was going on (including Delphi Week and trips) I ended up not blogging. Here is some not so new stuff, you might have missed, so it is worth underlining.

Delphi Week
It was a lot of fun with great content. Was hoping to find time to blog, but I didn't. You can get a summary of the core YouTube videos in the YouTube channel at //www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwUPJvR9mZHjIjLXxyDxN6A8qWlwi1LgZ, but if there is one thing I'll remember is Jim's Code Monkey video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nGvMbQKS7U#t=177 (fantastic job).
