Well...we're sardined into the keynote.  There's no wireless (802.11) so mobloggers only.  The lights dim...

Looks like I was “quoted” in today's Seattle Times story on Longhorn.  By “quoted” I mean, I don't remember saying exactly that, and I also said some other, cooler quotes, but it's not a bad article.  Lots of other folks quoted and PDCBloggers.net was mentioned!

Apparently my "Longhorn Gang Sign” from .NET Rocks is catching on:

(I have no idea who this is, but I know it's not me. ;) )

.NET Rocks! - PDC Edition Quotes

Heh, cheesy for me to re-blog what Peter blogged about .NET Rocks (especially since I was especially silly tonight) but here's what we did:

They ran a game where Carl and Mark ask .NET related questions and an audience member has to decide if the panelists answers are correct or not. Kinda like Hollywood Squares -- including the silly initial answer (see below).

They were giving away a number of XBoxes and other good stuff.

Funny quotes:

Michelle Bustamante (sp?): "Web Services are like teenage sex. Everyone is talking about doing it and those who are actually doing it are doing it badly."

Scott Hanselman in response to the question how to you access private members: "A glass or two of red wine."

Scott Hanselman: "If you dial 10-10-987 you can save at least a dollar on every web service call."

Carl Franklin: "Dot Net Freakin' Rocks!" [Peter Provost]

Peter is keeping a very detailed account of his PDC experience, it's worth your read.

Smog? No my friends...that's smoke from a Forest Fire as viewed from Seat 1A on the United flight from PDX->LAX.

 

All the LCD Monitors in the world were brought in for the Hands On Labs.

 

Chaos at Midnight in the Westin Lobby...Ted Neward, Julia Lerman, Jas Sandhu, Patrick Hynds, Carl Franklin, Jon Box in there somewhere.

Me on .NET Rocks!  Watch for the PDC .NET Rocks Show soon!
