Skiing already

so some places are making snow but MY ski hill is au naturel and not open yet. However some of my hard core friends have already been skiing there. They HIKE up and ski down. I was told that with 2″ of crust and 2″ of fresh snow on top of that, it was already sweet this weekend. Boo hoo. Not that even without a broken foot I am in any shape to hike up that steep place!

HDC Wrap Ups and Congrats to Joe Olsen

The first annual HDC is over and here are a number of people who have written about it:

Kent Tegels

Robert Hurlbut

Sam Gentile

Matt Hawley

keynote presenter Rocky Lhotka

and conference organizer Joe Olsen.

I would like to add that Joe, who is a liaison on the INETA User Group Relations Committee, the leader of the Omaha.NET User Group and a real community leader is the guy who put on this show. He never organized a conference before. I have seen some of the stats and am just completely amazed. Somebody buy this man a beer (or a beer hall maybe for next year?).
