Weekly Roundup

Aaron Brethorst, June 08, 2013

Are you as excited for WWDC as I am? I hope to see some of you in San Francisco this week! I’ll be in town for a couple days, from Monday to Wednesday, and I’d love to meet up with some of you. So, drop us a line on Twitter.

Also, if you haven’t checked it out yet, make sure you take a gander at the WWDC 2013 Bingo card.

Cheers,
Aaron
