Merlin’s on the way back, Speaking in ‘08

Greetings of the Season, my friends.

Back soon

I’ll be slowly ambling my way back from full-time paternity leave over the next couple or three weeks, which means I’ll be posting a bit more regularly on 43 Folders, returning to regular appearances on MacBreak Weekly and [eek] returning to answering public email again. Keep an eye out soon after the first of next year.

Also, as aught-eight dawns, I’m starting to nail down dates and details for speaking gigs over the first half of the year and beyond. So, if you’re interested in having me visit with your company or organization, get in touch.

When you contact me, please do include as much detailed information as possible about budget, timing, audience, and when you need a response.

This is all super-helpful for Mrs. Nice Booking Person and me to know, and we most definitely reply fastest to folks who can share specifics — particularly on budget and dates, natch.

Where to see Merlin

Although most of my talks and presentations these days are private company events, I also do the occasional public appearance. If you’re interested in keeping up with these and want to say hi when I’m in your neck of the woods, you can subscribe to my public speaking calendar — either as a iCal Calendar or as an RSS feed.

Here’s a handy little calendar widget with my upcoming public stuff:

It’s going to be tough to move from full- to mostly-full-time Daddying, but I’m also looking forward to getting back in the swing and seeing what you kids have been up to.

Until then, have a great holiday, and a safe, happy new year.
