Went to breakfast with Jake and John and was met with another...well, male tramp stamp:

Seems to be a recurring theme around here. Last night it was just plain old ass crack:

After breakfast, we headed over to the JavaOne demo ground, where I met my first, um, not nice person. Bumped into him in a crowded hall, I turned and apologized and then he barked at me. Classy dude.
After the demo ground, we had close to 2 hours to kill before my first scheduled session, and I just crashed. Could not figure out how I was going to keep myself awake. Back to the hotel to take a nap before the session...and of course I slept right through it. All the way until 1:40, I missed the session. Sad for me, as it was Cary Millsap's Thinking Clearly About Performance.
But I did have time to make lunch with the incomparable Floyd Teter, so I headed on down to the 4th Street Grill and Bar. It was a fairly small group, John, Jake, Rich and Anthony and then Ted Simpson and Mike Knect joined us near the end.

Now I am sitting in the AppsLab session, Web Center: A Web Developer's Playground. They are the original creators of Oracle Mix (public) and Oracle Connect (an internal Oracle application). Rich and Anthony are very smart and passionate, I may not now what they are talking about all the time, but passion is hard to ignore.

Fear not, I recorded Cary's talk and it will be up on youtube as soon as the bandwidth gods allow.
Awesome! Can't wait to see it. Though I may have bribed Mr. Millsap with playoff tickets for another chance to see the presentation. :)
Dear OracleNerd,
"tramp stamp" is a new one on me. Hope you had a safe trip home and you partake of OCW next year!
