Back to the UDF:  As a way to shorten UDF moments when you really don’t have time to chat, many folks have mentioned making some kind of pamphlet or card to hand to interested people.  This sounded like a great idea to me, and I always enjoy doing layout stuff, so I whipped some up the other day.  I plan on doing some other versions later, but for now, these will work.  I’ll be going to Kinkos today to print them out.  Click on the image to see the full size version.
