Back from FooCamp

I'm back from FooCamp 2004! It was a great event filled with amazingly talented people. I want to thank Tim O'Reilly for hosting FooCamp and Rael for inviting me. I don't know where to begin in describing the experience. It was only two days, but such a successful experiment in self-organizing info-sharing. It's what happens when 150 smart people hang out for the weekend and share ideas. Absolutely amazing.

I think Drew Endy's session Saturday night takes the cake for mind blowing (see parts.mit.edu for a quick glimpse at what these folks are up to) and Saul Griffith's session about HowToons was a great presentation on engaging children by educating them.

Thanks to everyone who made the event a success!
