A while back I mentioned Ignite Lincoln and encouraged you all to put in an application to speak. Well, they've announced this year's list of presenters. You'll probably recognize a couple names.
Right up top is Steve Ramos, aka Beerorkid. He'll be presenting "Pinball: A Game of Skill", no doubt featuring his Borkade. I'm so jealous of that man's pinball machines.
(I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed though, Steve. I was rooting for "Frozen Corn vs. Frozen Peas: It Makes a Vas Deferens To Me". Next year, perhaps?)
If you're like me, you'll probably recognize a few other names on the list. And then there's me down there near the bottom. I will present "A Foster Family’s Tale". I went through several different ideas, but the folks I consulted all encouraged me to go with the story of our foster parenting adventure. Condensing it all into five minutes isn't easy, but I hope folks like the finished product. My rough drafts so far have waffled among sentimental, horrifying, infuriating, funny, and educational. Hopefully I can strike a successful balance.
Tickets for Ignite Lincoln are free, by the way. You can pick up earlybird tickets right now. I hope to see you there!

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
“It Makes a Vas Derens To Me” actually made me laugh out loud, and I was glad I didn’t have a mouth full of Diet Coke, or I would be cleaning up my monitor.
Perhaps next year I’ll propose an entire Ignite Lincoln presentation composed of locally-oriented puns. Think I could come up with 5 minutes worth of material?
FYI: Corn gelatinized after refreezing. Talk about a sticky crotch 😉
Was great seeing you on the list. Do you think that will be the order we go?

I was asked to do it a bit ago and was a bit hesitant. After watching some of the past vids and vids from events in other cities I got a plan.
Focusing on the fact that a good game of pinball is more about control than randomness. Oh and Thunky the cat will make an appearance.
Not being able to do any vid sorta hurts showing trick shots, maybe I can utilize the PP function that has sorta animation.
😊
The BorKade with custom neon sign, as I heard. A must see.
