Today is wrapping up and I've met some terrific folks, as well as seeing some old friends.  I got to talk a fair amount about Magenic, and talk to some Microsoft folks about my XNA User Group as well.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be doing a podcast with Jeff and the gang, although I haven't a clue on what to talk about.  Probably be something user group or XNA/TorqueX related.

I've seen some interesting booths, at least of two of which had Nintendo Wii's setup for the attendees to play. (I remember the wii's but not the companies... what's the message here?)

Highlights of the day:
 - working out some gamer swag from MS for the XNA user group
 - meeting lots of potential customers, having some great discussions.
 - having David Silverlight look over at me and say... "Hey! You're Chris Williams!!"
 - having this conversation (3rd comment down)
 - crushing one of the booth bunnies at Wii Tennis (although I still dont remember the name of the company.)

Time for dinner... so I'm outta here.
