Cisco Live 2011 Schedule

For the first time ever, I’m headed to Cisco Live - the big Cisco users conference in Las Vegas! I usually don’t go to these things since I wind up just hanging out by myself, but I’m meeting all sorts of people there - from bloggers to Tweeps to personal friends. It should be a huge blast, and I can’t wait to get there.

For those interested, here’s my schedule.
