... at the Sonoma Valley Author's Festival in beautiful downtown Sonoma. But, as you'd expect, that's not happening this year. The organizers have moved everything online.
So... I'm giving my talk about "The Joy of Search" at the Festival TOMORROW (Friday, July 24) at 9AM Pacific / Noon Eastern.
If you'd like to watch it, you need to register ahead of time (it's free!):

Hope to see all of you regular SearchResearchers there!
