You may not care what I am doing at TechEd 2005. You may not want to think about what I will be doing in sunny Orlando, Florida. I will tell you anyway: I will enjoying all cool stuff that make us love being software developers; I will also be doing so without the day to day crap of project managers asking what the % complete is for line item 75. After class every day I'll be taking my little girl to the beach or hanging out at the pool.

OK, so here is my tenative schedule of events for the week. As you can see I'm sticking mostly in the Mobile and Architecture tracks. I may be hard to work with for a while after I come back. Moreso than most people I know, I have a deep seated need to talk about/debate/argue about my work. After a week of seeing new stuff I will be stocked with ammunition. Hopefully I can get most of it out of my system via this here daily tech ed blog.

The TechEd website has a nice schedule maker. The web site also allows me to click to add the schedule to my Outlook calendar, which means its in my SmartPhone too and I don't need to haul around my laptop or paper. Sometimes, I love technology so much I could break into song like a cheesy musical.
