Ignite Seattle: Tonight at CHAC

The geeks are gathering in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood tonight for Ignite 5. Join Seattle's elite geekery for a series of fast-paced and time-boxed presentations.

I'll be attending (so apparently it's not just the 'elite' afterall), if anything for the social aspects and photo opportunities, and will bring you a recap tomorrow.
