Day 2 – check! Friday at Geekend was filled with awesomeness, but there’s no surprise there. We chilled with the finest from across the globe as we learned to leverage Google Analytics, create handmade websites and even rock out kazoo-style, among many other geek-tastic topics.
And if you missed Baratunde Thurston’s keynote about his work at The Onion, well… you’re a racist.
Here’s the usual roundup of tweets and quotes to sum up the stellar lineup of sessions:
