Dann's Ass

And now what you have all been waiting for... Dann's Ass. As you probably know, Dann from TLLTS drove up together and had a great time talking tech and trying to keep eachother awake. Dann is a great guy. Funny thing though, when you get him drunk, he does interesting things, like well, show his butt. Dann's ass really overshadowed the rest of the conference. No, really, literally.

Jono Bacon is a good speaker. Very funny. I also got to talk to him several times throughout the conference, and he seems like a pretty nice guy. Here is a small excerpt from his talk.

John "Maddog" Hall was awesome

This was easily my favorite presentation of the day. The depth of knowledge and wisdom just oozes from Maddog. I hope to get to see him speak again someday. I wish I had caught there part where he talks about giving wifi to small tribes in africa. They get offered a solor panel, or a bike. They almost always to choose the bike to power the battery. When asked why, they said that if the solar panel broke, it could take months to get it repaired, but they have bikes and alternators around if they need parts.

The Zenoss guys were really cool. I hope to get them on the show next season.
