As I mentioned earlier, today we were not allowed to bring cameras, laptops, or any other recording devices to the convention center. Well, you could bring them along, but the stuff would have to be checked in at the entrance. I did manage to bring my camera, but feared the consequences if I were to take any pictures of Jim Alchin being embarrased about his comments on Britney Spears, Steve Ballmer (or actually SteveO) discussing his relationship with Scott McNealy (Sun Microsystems) or a not very optimized vpn connection while showing off a new webbased newsreader.

So... I didn't take pictures or recorded anything. Well some stuff I did write down.

Cool stuff was there, but practically everything was under NDA so there's not much of a point talking about it here. Ok, that's a lousy statement, and I'd better shut up then, but I want to add that, even though the stuff we saw was nice and cool and all, it's not revolutionary and it doesn't give me any advantage over guys that haven't seen it. It's still awkward  for people that like to share their views and knowledge within a community, like MVPs, to show stuff that you cannot share.

On to the party tonight of which I will hope to take some shots.
