48.
That's how many books we bought at Powell's over the course of two trips to the main store, one to the technical store, and a brief stop at the airport kiosk on the way home.
As I've said many times before: we may be addicted to buying books, but it's still cheaper and safer than, say, crack, or even cigarettes.
Here are some software packages that are new (to me) that I learned about at OSCON and plan to try out:
I also came away with my yearly shot of confidence in Parrot/Perl 6 (especially with Dan Sugalski's talk on how he's putting Parrot to use at his workplace).
All in all, it was a very enjoyable and informative week. I look forward to finding out where next year's will be. :)

I can't possibly imagine how many cigarettes you'd have to buy to make 48 books cheaper than them

Ah, but the savings comes later in the first medical complication you don't get from the books.
