The Hands-on Lab Sessions have been made available here and the slides here.
Even though I was at the conference there were a number of sessions that I wasn’t able to hit so the notes are a good way to tide one over until the multimedia presentations are put online.

Came across this site tonight. Basically, it’s a community site for *Joel on Software *where readers can submit/vote on stories that would likely be of interest to fellow readers.
Normally I wouldn’t link to something like this, but I did read a few of the user-submitted posts and found them to be of fairly high value. I’ve found the signal-to-noise ratio in the blogosphere to be quite high as of late so it’s nice to have the community do a bit of filtering for you.
Check it out.
On that note, I’ve been struggling for weeks to get my unread posts in Bloglines down from 4k to something slightly more manageable… without much success. I’ve successfully gotten it down to 3k a number of times but than I go to JavaOne or something and it jumps to 4500.

We’re going through a group exercise at work to provide definitions of our companies core values.
*Excellence *– An overriding commitment to continous improvement and never settling for ‘good enough’.
Pretty succint and captures the essence of what the term means to me. It actually came to me in the middle of a workout at the gym, amazing when and where ideas present themselves.
