RootsTech/FGS Con

   Well, aside from the fact that I totally missed the Innovator Summit yesterday, meanwhile back in Utah RootsTech 2015 began today. From the RootsTech website FAQs:

RootsTech is a global family history event, where people of all ages learn to discover, share and celebrate their family connections across generations through technology. At RootsTech, there is something for everyone, no matter your experience in family history or your skill level in technology.
   A pretty exciting thing, in other words. As if that weren't exciting enough, though, this year, in what is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime, thing, RootsTech is sharing venue keynotes and Expo Hall space with the annual national conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies. It's, huge.

   After spending two years as a missionary on Temple Square, and being there around RootsTech season for both of those years (though never actually, you know, attending or anything (I told you about the Xbox Kinnect incident that had happened, right?)) I can tell you: man, this year it really is going to be bigger than ever, and if you happen to be in the Salt Lake City area this weekend, I strongly recommend you at least get a one-day starter pass, and check it out.

   But the best part of it? All the free leftover pizza that the young elders of the FCHH Mission are going to get. FHL has an annual "grab a slice of pizza and find an ancestor" promotion, and they overpurchase every year.
