So I'm sitting here in the colossal meal hall in the conference area of the Venetian, trying to soak everything in. So far I've been completely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of this place and the other casinos on the strip... These structures make most of the buildings I walk by in Manhattan every day look like little kid's block buildings.
As you may know, I'm somewhat of a people-watcher more by accient of my own particular symptoms of being unable to tune out white noise than anything else. I find it interesting what topics are being discussed near me as people eat breakfast and wait for the chance to go get seats for the keynote. A lot of people are talking about Silverlight... though those conversations actually sound like bragging matches to see which person at the table has used more Silverlight than the others.
Definitely a lot of excitement around here, though I am kind of dissappointed that there aren't as many people talking about Azure and Live Framework. Those things are completely underrated and, if you looked at my schedule, you'd see that it's almost entirely Azure-related with a little bit of Silverlight peppered in for good measure.
Anyway, I will be posting my thoughts on the conference and the different sessions I attend, so stay tuned. For now, I'm just going to try and find a small drab corner in which to hide from all the shiny, extremely over-the-top opulence here.
make sure you do an "engadget style" minute by minute update :) with pics!
;)
Haha, good idea. I'll take pictures of the angry drunk people that I saw
losing at the slots this morning...
