Victor Cajiao, of the Typical Mac User podcast, has invited me to co-host with him this Sunday (June 10th).

I just noticed that Server Siren is listed as the Featured Download in its category at Apple.com. I’m not sure who makes those decisions or why, but I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks, Apple! A big Tip O’ the Hat to you!

Well, bought the ticket today, as well as made hotel reservations. This will be my second WWDC, and I’m really looking forward to it. It’s certainly not cheap, but it’s definitely worth it. I can’t wait!
