Made it to Java in Action

I just arrived at Disney's fancy "Yacht Club" for the Java in Action show. Today was a fun day - Julie and I took Abbie and Jack to Magic Kingdom and had a great time. Abbie got to meet Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Eor and Tigger. She was scared of Mickey, but warmed up to Pooh and friends pretty quickly. It was weird - it kept raining off and on throughout the day, but it didn't seem to put a damper on anyone's spirits. Unlike Colorado, rain doesn't cool anything down. In fact, the humidity seems to crank the temperature up a notch or two.

Tomorrow is a full day - I have a 3 hour tutorial on web frameworks in the morning, followed by an hour of Ajax + Spring in the afternoon. After that, it's back to vacation-mode until I return to Denver next Tuesday.

I'd post the slides from my talks, but they're starting to make less and less sense (in downloadable form) as I add more images and less bullets. Besides, I plan on coding and conversing for most of the talks. That's the fun part of speaking at conferences - who wants to listen to a presentation anyway? Why does the good conversation have to take place in the hallways? Can't it happen right in the room?

Having grown up in the south (Alabama), you need a good solid rain for a couple of hours for the weather to cool off. Otherwise all you do (as you noticed) is ratchet up the humidity.

Matt, i'd like to download some of your talks in video form. It'd be cool if it'd be possible.

Matt, I'll second Alex. Or just go back to your slides and backfill the text based on the outcome of the presentation (what you talked about, the discussion, etc.). Can PowerPoints be annotated with audio? It would be cool if your new company supported audio and/or video annotations for the Live books. Podcasts? Or recorded slides and demos, like Roman's NetBeans Features Presentation. I know you did the TSS interview and that worked fairly well, I thought, though it wasn't posted until well after the actual interview. Audio and/or video would certainly enhance the "Live" aspect. Pass the suggestion on to the 'other' Matt?

The reason? Some folks either can't afford to go to conferences, either with their own money/vacation or their company just won't sponsor them (at all, or very much, like one a year or every other). Or they don't ever have conferences in their town. Mine is in the category of the last two - nothing local and the company will sponsor approx. one conference ever other year and one training class a year (conferences don't count, incl. NFJS, for whatever reason). So basicly most of my learning happens via surfing, with an occasional JavaOne or training class thrown in. Plus there's a fair number of folks who'd like to 'hear' what you have to say, since you're frequently on the practical side of leading-edge stuff.

Gerry,

We've talked about doing video presentations at Virtuas. We have all the equipment and software to do it - it's just a matter of finding time to make it happen.
