JavaOne After Dark

I got to spend a couple of fun hours this afternoon with Jamie Hyneman of M5 Industries - the Mythbusters. Adam was outside for most of the discussion - he had his head shoved into the back of a car doing some welding that wasn't going well. They're going to be part of the entertainment at the AfterDark party, and we were going over things they could do to liven up the event. The tragedy is that most of the cool things they do for their show could never be done in a crowded room without doing some serious harm to the audience. The Fire Marshall gets pretty cranky about that sort of thing. But they'll do something cool. And they'll be doing some color commentary for the T-Shirt hurling contest.

Very cool, now only if I could break away and attend Java One this year.

That is so cool. Definitely an incentive to go to JavaOne this year. :P Now, if only I can scramble up some time & cash to go halfway around the world to San Francisco...

hmm...I wonder would Sun be interested in sending people who posted the 3rd comment to this post tickets to attend this event? I'd be willing to even accept one...just have to figure out how to get from China to San Fran... :( Ahhh mythbusters....how I miss them from my Irish cable subscription...last one I saw with them was the myth of the exploding portable toilet.

How about.... The next bustable myth could be "Java is slow" :)
