Happy Monday! 

I had a great time yesterday at the first Houston Code Camp at the Microsoft Center. I ran into a number of my digest readers and had a chance to catch up on what everyone is working on with their tech startups and ideas.

Earlier this week, I also had a chance to learn a new skill – live streaming via uStream and recording simultaneously to embed in a website. I was at SpaceUp Houston’s Commercial Spaceflight Panel Thursday and if you missed it, you can still catch the video on SpaceUp Houston’s website now – there are some great presentations by aerospace companies, many of which are recent tech startups.
