Hey… you… @shmoocon.bsky.social attendee… come to #Firetalks.
Why?
Wrapping up 20 years (actually 18) of Shmoo with my first Firetalk there.
Hopefully I can make it fun and informative.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
My firetalk in 2018 at Shmoocon launched my public speaking career.
it comes full circle in a bittersweet way: Bruce+Heidi invited me to be the Task Mooster for the last #ShmooCon.

So, this is it - the last ShmooCon Firetalks. If these closing thoughts were a Firetalk, SpaceRogue, Katie, Kim, and Ray would dock me 50k points for reading the slides. Though, I feel these words of appreciation are important enough to grant an exception to the rubric.
