Sunday

TechEd starts tomorrow, Monday, but I've been in New Orleans on my own dime for a few days. I went today to the conference center, got my badge, and went to a "Tech Ed 101" session, to learn the lay of the land.



I'm certainly excited. The speaker really got me in the mood for some serious convention-going. In describing what an "expert" level session was like, he said: "It's basically you, in a room with the guy who wrote the product, who just blows your mind." I'm definitely going to enjoy that!

Here's the swag I've picked up so far.


Can't wait for the conference to begin for real!

As for New Orleans- wow, what a city. There is so much I could say, but I think the place could best be discribed by this local saying: “In New Orleans there are two times of day: Mealtimes, and the times in-between them.” To that end, let me tell you about the city through one of my favorite activies: eating!!









Thanks so much for dropping by. Check back tomorrow and throughout the week for the meat of it!
