I have a rule, no questions or comments from Dave. I'm here as a guest, as an observer. Marc doesn't have such a rule, leading to an outrageously funny exchange, that cracked me (and no one else) up.

A couple of really good sessions, and until the lunch keynote panel, very informative and not much self-promotion.

Total affection overload here. I'm just an observer so far, it's very relaxing.

Good idea. Now here's something really interesting -- his service <a href="http://feedblitz.blogspot.com/2005/12/public-beta-feedblitz-adds.html">supports</a> OPML reading lists. He wants a public place for OPML file hosting. I'm sure we can figure something out.

I already feel weird being here. Lots of shrieking and giggling in the hotel lobby while I was waiting to check in. What a weird place. First thought, I feel as out of place here as women probably feel at most tech conferences. I have to remind myself that it's not dangerous here. I think.
