Quick thoughts while I munch:
- Apparently those symbols on restroom doors aren't as universal as I thought (saw an Asian-looking fellow hurriedly leaving a women's restroom).
- I have been surprised by the percentage of females here -- it's gotta be above 10%, and I can't remember another tech conference with anywhere near those numbers.
- Oh yeah, the tutorial: Thomas Fuchs admitted that the documentation for scriptaculous "sucks." That was worth the price of admission for me.
- I'm currently eating a "Oregon Chicken Breast Sandwich." At the risk of getting in trouble back home... I've never seen a breast like this before.
- Someone is recording a podcast... in the main hall. During lunch. They deserve all the background noise they get (and if you hear someone blowing their nose really loudly in the background... yeah, that was me).
- I had several good lunch conversations, including one with a fellow whose badge said he was with Real Girls Media Networks. I expected... something else.
- The weather in the Pacific Northwest is not at all like the weather in Northwest Arkansas. I probably should have taken this into account when packing.
If you've ever wondered what a sea of nerds might look like... gaze upon the very thing:
