One of the best sessions I attended this week was this morning... VS.NET 2005 IDE Enhancements.  Features that I loved...

Today I spent most of the day at the Regional Director booth.  Scott Cate and I handed out almost a thousand kbAlertz shirts.  After the convention, I attended a party at a place called Dick's Last Resort.  It was a blast!  I spent most of my evening with Ben Miller, Microsoft MVP Lead.  Here is a photo of him while we were playing pool...



I also found out that Scott Cate is quite the player himself...

I stumbled across the LearnKey booth at TechEd today.

My multimedia training session had its official debut!!!  The title of my series is C# with ASP.NET.  Here is a picture of me seeing the product for the first time...



The guy in the poster is none other than Mike Storm of Interface Technical Training!

I don't know how long this site has been around, but I stumbled upon it while reading some user group emails.

Keep in mind, I am at TechEd this week.  However, I just spent the last hour or so reading the amazing amount of blogs written so far.  I feel like I have learned more from the blogs than attending the sessions!  So for those of you who were unable to attend, you can show up at Virtual TechEd by going to any of the following links...

The one theme that is ringing true at this event is how important it is to meet your peers.  I am continually impressed with not only the talent, but how friendly everyone is.  It shouldn't shock me that developers who are brilliant can also be kind and fun to hang around with... but it does.

After the sessions were over, MSDN threw a party.  In the very crowded room, I happened upon the famous Hamid of Axosoft based in Phoenix (like me!).  Here is a glimpse of that party with Scott Cate, Scott Water, and the folks with Axosoft...

Today I served my duty at cabanas 5 & 6.  My official duty was to answer questions regarding C#.  As I am hanging out, I noticed a particular individual I was able to ask some C# questions myself...
