      <title>"Talking in Texas" by james</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll be representing Highgroove at the &lt;a href="http://lonestarrubyconf.com/"&gt;Lone Star Rubyconf&lt;/a&gt; this weekend.  I&amp;#8217;ll give two talks, one for the charity event the night before and another at the main conference.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;At the charity event I&amp;#8217;m going to go over Ruby&amp;#8217;s block syntax.  I&amp;#8217;ll cover what blocks are, how they are used, and give  a lot of great examples.  This is a good talk to sit in on if you&amp;#8217;re new to Ruby and it&amp;#8217;s even for a good cause.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;For the conference I&amp;#8217;m going to talk about heroes and super powers.  I&amp;#8217;m sure I&amp;#8217;ll manage to sneak a little Ruby in there too, for those that enjoy that.  This talk takes an in depth look at glue code and Ruby&amp;#8217;s features supporting such.  It&amp;#8217;ll be fun stuff that doesn&amp;#8217;t get talked about enough.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you are attending the conference, do flag me down and say hello.  I&amp;#8217;m always interested in meeting fellow Rubyists.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;
