get sent to this

back in the day when i plyed my trade as a programmer, i got sent to these tech conferences to see which technologies deserved the buzz they were receiving. and i had no qualms about attending because circa-2000, the parties always outnumbered the information sessions and everyone got wet before happy hour arrived.

of course, if i had one ticket to use for a tech conference this year, i select the office 2.0 conference. not because i'm enthralled by the "collective experiment organized every year in San Francisco, CA and aimed at discovering the future of online productivity & collaboration" (whatever the fuck that means) but because i want the free iphone or playstation 3 -- straight to ebay for both, so whichever would fetch more ducats -- they give to all registrants.

damn, i wish i had an educational budget.
