I lived.

I met several people today. I have the business cards to prove it. This is an interesting conference. Several very, very big companies are represented, but there are only a few hundred people -- so it feels pretty exclusive.

It was a long day. I'm pretty sure I'll be writing about the whole thing on the Hacker blog.

Tomorrow, at the end of the conference, I rent a car and go up to Racine. Yay!

It's started to snow -- so what started as a green conference will end as a white one.
