the shear brain power of having 6000 geeks in one location with thousands of session on the coolest technology arround.. how to describe.. its amazing and my brain is now full! Had to take break last night so after a quick run around @ 'asking the experts' - Jeffa, Kleefy and myself went to the Seattle Supersonics vs Utah Jazz NBA.

The supersonics were smashed by the jazz, and looks like there will be a 1-1 basketball challenge on the upcoming Wave Launch between Jeffa and Kleefy :)

Meeting with some great people from all around the world, its great to hear that the problems we all have locally do reflect internationally.. its amazing that even Americans know our issues around our broadband infrastructure!

The food is pretty interesting too..

try and tell that isn't a deep fried rat.. was tasty though.

@ TechReady6 in Seattle

Well I'm in Seattle for our internal tech conference, TechReady with heap of other aussie DPE folks; Jeffa, Kleefy, Barnesy, Coatesy(visiting before going to the Office Developers Conference), Rog, Nils and of course Frank is omnipresent :)

Really enjoying the weather (seriously) although compared to home is is officially brass monkeys..

Been a busy and exciting time already; Had a 2nd hand brush with fame; While dining at Ruth Chris, Kleefy shook hands with Steve Ballmer, while steve was walking out of the bathroom... I've been hanging with all the web platform evangelists from around the world at our pre-summits. Even had a chance to catch up with Wardy to check out some of the cool projects he's been up to.

So if you're in town, shoot me a line and we'll catch up.
