Greetings from Barcelona

I (and my entire team except for our boss) am here in beautiful Barcelona for TechEd Developer.  This is definitely one of my favorite events, because of the location, the amenities, and most importantly, the people. 

I'm giving a number of talks throughout the week (see below), so if you're here, please drop on by.  If you don't make it to the talks, I've been known to frequent the bar on the first floor of the Hilton right next to the convention center :-)   There's also a great lineup of talks from other folks as well that I will probably be dropping into.  It will be a good week, and then on Thursday, following my last talk, I will be taking a bit of holiday until next Tuesday.
