I'm having fun at Foo Camp. I'm in a room with twenty people. The people I recognize are: Tim O'Reilly, Bill Janeway (Warburg-Pincus VC), Esther Dyson, Linda Stone, Chris di Bona, Jeremy Zawodny, Jeff Barr (head of web services at Amazon.com), Fyodor (author of nmap), Nelson Minor (head of research at Google), JC Herz (author of Joystick Nation), .... And those are only the ones I recognize. It's amazing.

Down the hall, Rael and Raffi are building a vacuum robot. Some guy from AMD is talking about their new 64 processor, released last week. A bunch of wireless guys are talking two rooms over about the behaviour of users at wifi hotspots (how much they roam between coffee shops, how much it costs T-Mobile to set up a Starbucks hotspot [$5k], etc.). I need to clone myself.

Oh, and Scott McCloud just walked into the room. Oh, and here's Larry Page. Whee! I'm in millionaire-watching heaven!
