Yes, that's right. I'll be headed further south hoping to pick up some hot VS 2005 knowledge via osmosis...programming skills by proximity. Unless I am sucked too thoroughly into the theme park vortex, I intend to offer some live coverage here: VS Live with D.*. If nothing else, I should be able to report on the fashion trends of the techy and minimally regurgitate the inevitable buzz (propaganda?).

I am also happy to report that I'll be headed due (and extreme) west in August to attend a certain function intended for the tasseled loafer set. It should be rich fodder for the What the CIO Wants You to Know series [1]...you know...the one you love to hate.
