bye bye scifoo

Well, scifoo is over now. As I reluctantly take off my conference badge I can't help but feel sad to leave all of the people I've met here behind. The only recompense I suppose is that I do get to take a tiny bit of their ideas and their inspirational energy along with me. My main regret is that I think I really took away a lot more than I gave - though I think that is probably a pretty universal feeling for the attendees.  

I'll dribble out posts about specific parts of the meeting over the next few weeks, so that I have a bit of time to write them and the brain dump is not too overwhelming to you, the ethereal readers (both of you!).
