YakShaving: Shawn Ferry's Weblog
v. intr. [MIT AI Lab, after 2000: orig. probably from a Ren & Stimpy episode.] Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working on.

After the un-conference was officially over some of us sat around with James Baty for another 30-45min. After Jim left @timkennedy, @edsai, James Dean and I sat around talking for another 30 min. Once they were done breaking down the room Tim, Ed and I were in the way so we went to the CEC Pavilion and continued talking before heading off to bed.


Again I say this is how a conference is supposed to be, at Moscone they kick us out at 9 and disperse to bars or hotels or whatever. No way this type of thing happens at last years CEC.
