SEM Canada is an event I am looking forward to speaking at. I just spoke at WidgetWebExpo in New York, and I discovered that my wacky style goes over quite well, even among professionals.

I will build a couple of examples to illustrate the wide range of results that can be utilized, however at the moment I have a hangover (not sure why).
