Me and Miloh are at OSCON. Although the tix to get in are way expensive!, there are a surprising number of way cool people here. I'm guessing that a lot of cool people are being sent on corporate dimes. Also, there are lots of free tickets given away by O'Reilly, including the ones given to me and Miloh, and also Ceren, who was here yestereday -- for setting up and running the hardware hacking area at the MAKE booth, which has been way fun!<BR>
