Happy end of March! Couple quick news items: if you're in Baltimore, we're excited to have time available for personal MS Office training at all expertise levels.

As for events: I'm quite excited to be co-organizing Ignite DC (on May 14) and to have launched Bootstrap Maryland (on May 2). If you can make it out (or want to get the message behind your company out to young, passionate, and tech-savvy people by sponsoring), check 'em out!
