Happy Monday!I hope everyone is enjoying the day off this Labor Day and stayed dry as Tropical Storm Lee brought us some much needed rain this weekend.This week is jam-packed full of great events and I’m still trying to figure out how to fit them all into my schedule.

I want to highlight PyTexas 2011 in Bryan, TX this weekend where you can learn more about developing in the Python programming language. Also, Thursday all day in Austin, TX is the first Austin Startup Bazaar. I’ll be there as a guest mentor/expert to help startup entrepreneurs with their business and marketing questions to prepare for their pitches.
