And the rewrite of the Remembrance.&nbsp; The thing is, and this is hard for me to admit, I&#8217;m really proud of these projects. I&#8217;m proud of finishing them, and I&#8217;m proud of not giving up on the work Nikki and I are doing. I&#8217;m excited about them, too. I&#8217;m hoping to get over some of my social anxiety and feeling of being a pretender, and just <em>share my excitement<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If you see me wandering into or out of a panel &#8211; this year I&#8217;ll be focusing a lot on the technical ones &#8211; carrying my <a href=\"http:\/\/davidmcrampton.com\/?p=1338\">Decepticon notebook<\/a>, come up and say hi.
