Well, I didn't do such a good job blogging on-site. Most of my classes were away from the main wireless and I wasn't willing to pay the $19 to hit the public site.

All-in-all the conf was good.
The last keynote was not as inspiring as I would have hoped, although the manufacturing prototype has my mental gears turning
I found a nice new pen that my wife loves and plans to push at our school
The SQL and performance classes rocked
The project management classes, not so much
Sharepoint is not an operating system, however it is a platform
I would like to have spent time in the testing center and regret not making the effort.

For future reference (and not very important):
- Keynotes were ok.
- Comfort Inn was terrible
- You can hoof most anywhere in SD, however beware 6th below ash - not a friendly place at night
- Taxis are useless in the city - most of the cabbies were honest but some took round about paths to get from place to place.
- Shout is a great place and fun
