Foo!

I had a great time at O'Reilly Foo Camp 2004 this past weekend... boy, what an uber-geek fest it was.

imagine you've always been the *smartest* kid in the room, but now you're in a camp full of 300 super-whiz-kids and you're the *dumbest* kid in the room. very humbling... but also shitloads of creativity and fun and synapses firing at light-speed. yowza ;)

Several cool new things i learned about / dug into further / wished i thought of first:
Del.icio.us
Attention.XML
HTML for Calendars
VoteOrNot.org
HowToons

also, the companies and people behind TypePad, BlogLines, Feedster, Technorati , SocialText are all effin' kool.
