Cool Stuff Going Down At eTech

March 14, 2005 6:38 PM

Down in San Deigo, the 2005 O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference (etech) just got started. Things don't really get rolling until Tuesday, but a few have already informed those of us who couldn't be there in person that they'll be blogging it - Official blog - Stream Archive including a BluetoothBot logging when people (or at least their cell phones) are coming and going - Flickr photos - Weblogs Inc.'s coverage - Sean Bonner and Ian Hay. Look for all sorts of cool things to be popping up throughout the blogosphere in the next few days. For those of us who unfortunately couldn't make it this year, please post your favorite blogger who is there in the comments.

I went to ETECH last year and had a pretty cool time, saw lots of neat mind expanding geek type stuff... and tijuanna too (which was mind expanding in a different way)!

Wish I was going this year, but $$$ were tighter.

No O'Reilly conference is complete without Robert Kaye's lack-of-hairdo.

I live there, but am having trouble finding $500-$1000 or so in my sofa cushions. Pity, there's plenty I'd love to see and undoubtedly lots of interesting people to meet.

sorry to hear that RTT... perhaps you could social engineer your way in =P. And there's nothing to say you can't hang around the hortin drinking martini's in the lounge to hang with other attendees=P

The cool thing is that they post alot of the materials/presentations/etc on the wiki and there's usually an IRC channel aflutter with comments...so even if you can't be there you can sorta get a flava I guess... *shrug*
