Things I am reading about PASS Member Summit 2010

The following are a few blog posts I am reading lately on the interwebz.  This is going to be short and sweet.  The following posts are all based on the PASS Member Summit coming up in one week. If your are new to the PASS Member Summit like me I suggest you check them out.
