Anyone have a link to this video?  I think it was at the Qi conference.

<t>No response on anyone planning to come. I'll start another thread and title it with date/location rolled two weeks in the future, with specific note to only reply if you are going to attend.Beyond that - if you happen to be out and want to grab a beer tonight - reply to thread and we can meet up....
