We had the whole pre-keynote anxious anticipation happening today... here are some pictures I snapped real quick ..

There's Ingrid talking to Jonathan before the keynotes got started. I got to chat with her briefly too... love her! i'm working an angle to get Al Riske to do a Contarian Minds on her. guess what: Ingrid=MaryMaryQuiteContrary reader! serious as a heart attack.She offered to take a picture of me with Scott. Passed on that one. Career advice: it's not such a good idea to have the big boss know who you are if you're blogging on company time.

And there's Bruno. My buddy from Brazil's SouJava.

Hi James!!!!! (i think i vaguely remembers me but he can't quite place me... like... does she work for Sun or is she one of the mom's i see at the playground that annoy me so... he doesn't quite know... and in this picture he's thinking about it.)

There's me and Klaasjan Tukker...
my favorite Dutch Java Developer who runs the hottest Dutch Java User Group on the face of the planet. He hooked me up with a killer polo shirt and an pin ...

...stating that I am an official member of the Nederlandse Java User Group!
I've got stuff for him too. I'm going to give it to him at the Inner Circle Roundtable today at 5 p.m. at the Argent. (if you want to crash it, just show up... i'll get you in.) Tim Bray and Simon Phipps are featured speakers.
Then we got into the Scott's keynote...

... that's all for now... stay tuned for continuing coverage.
