PDC DVD Materials Arrived
I finally got the DVDs for PDC 2003. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I'll manage. See, I don't have a DVD-ROM drive in my computer yet. I know, isn't it a shame? Anyways, I was hoping (nievely, maybe) that the DVD would be something that I could stick in my Xbox and watch in the comfort of my living room. Well, you can... if you have a Media Center PC. The videos are WM9 encoded, so you have to run them off of your PC. I guess I have another reason now to pony up and buy one.

This Is Why I Only Went To Five PDC Sessions
The tagline for PDC was “Make The Connection”. For me, that was very true. I got to meet so many cool people there, and had lunch with people like Lili Cheng, Robert Scoble, Chris Brumme, and Erin Joyce, among many others. Had I spent my time making sure I went to every session I wanted to go to, I would have missed out on a lot of those opportunities. This is exactly why I didn't kill myself to get to the sessions... now I can sit at home, in my spare time, really sit down and take it all in and understand it.

I really thought I blogged more from PDC....
Man, this past week just flew by. I really thought I had blogged more about it. There were a few times where I went to post from the Internet Alley, and I stepped away from the machine for a few seconds to talk to someone, and it automatically logged me out. Oh well, I'll give your aggregators a rest and bring the blogosphere up to speed on my exploits next week. I must say that it was probably one of the best experiences of my life, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone that I did. I met some outstanding individuals that really have a passion for this stuff, and it was great to talk and share experiences.

The Tuesday of Randomness
Yesterday may very well have been the coolest day of my life. It started out with a chance encounter with Erin Joyce, columnist for InternetNews.com. She wrote a killer article on blogging and Longhorn last week, and by pure chance, sat next to me at Eric Rudder's keynote. As Paschal pointed out, she quoted me for her article on WinFS. (I'll cut her some slack even if she got my company name wrong. That was quite interesting, and she's a really interesting lady.

LAX CURRENTLY CLOSED
Due to wildfires, LAX is currently closed. If anyone is in-transit, you will probably be delayed. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get there.... I may be renting a car. If any of you get diverted to Phoenix, call me at 480-699-1046 or 480-710-2770 and, depending on what I decide to do, we may drive out (only about 6 hours from Phoenix).
