I just wanted to take a second to say thank you again for coming into TCG to present to us. That was, by far, one of the most entertaining lunch-and-learns that we have had and, of course, super informative. Anyone who can manage to get the Squatty Potty Unicorn into a presentation about user experience is A-OK in my book!
