+# Dear God What Am I Doing? Concurrency and Parallel Processing
+
+Here's a situation we've all be in at one point. We have a program. We
+want to make that program faster. We know about threads, processes,
+fibers. Then you start programming and you have no clue what to do. I
+was there. It sucks. This talk guides you down the rabbit hole and
+brings out the other side.
+
+Points covered:
+
+* Threads, Fibers
+* Processes, Forking, Detaching
+* Parellelism vs Concurrency
+* The many many different ways I crashed my computer learning these
+  things
+* Gotchas of each
+* Common ways you shoot yourself in the foot
+* Celluoid
+
+This is a learning and informative talk. It's target at intermediate
+developers who have ruby experience but never written any multi threaded
+code.

+
+My name is Adam Hawkins. I'm a rubyist, rails guy, and general
+open source nerd. I love to contribute to open source projects I use as
+well as write my own. I scratch my own itches through my open source
+work. When I'm not coding I travel and enjoy trance in very heavy doses.
