   This past MIX was my sophomore year. I had the chance to go to MIX07 last year. In fact have a glance at my RSS feed for that. I traveled once again with Joe Levi, courtesy of Lifetime Products.

The great things about MIX was the sessions. I did however enjoy the keynotes as they do always get you fired up for the rest of the conference as well as giving you a chance to see what and where Microsoft is going with the .NET framework as well as ASP.NET.

My feet are still blistered and I still am morning the loss of my Hacked Zune.

However the experience was awesome. I am hoping to be at MIX09 for my Junior year there.

I can't forget to give a friendly shout out to my new friends in the .NET community. I even made some friends from company's like:

WeatherBug  Tamir Melamed

Godaddy David Koopman

Jinx.com Scott "Brolo" Benner

Yahoo! Joshua Jacobson

CodeSmith Eric Smith

MotionCloud Pureum Kim

Koda Software  Tor Langlo

RogerGuess

Geoffrey Emery

Alec Bryte

And More...

Favorite Session:

ASP.NET MVC - Scott Hanselman

Least Favorite:

  WPF Development. Not because it was bad but it was the last session and I was exhausted.

Overall it was a great experience.

By the way check out a great Elvis/Johnny Cash impersonator

Thanks again Lifetime and Microsoft.
