Watching the TechED 2006 action poolside

Get your frozen margarita, dual core laptop and favorite rubber ducky and head to the pool.  Might as well since this year you’ll be able to watch and listen to the festivities on the https://VirtualTechEd.com website.  It’ll be interesting to see how much of the show, seminars and “social” events are actually broadcast. 

I would recommend tuning into the opening keynote on 6/11 at 7pm EST.  We’ll have Ray Ozzie, Bob Muglia and Chris Capossela showing off some kewl stuff.  Maybe they’ll do some of those kewl virtualization demos, or something fascinating from Windows Vista.  It sure would be kewl if they did a BDD of Halo 3 to 1000 workstations and waiting TechEd gamers.  Now that my friends is business desktop deployment.  Time to get down to business fragging.

And yes, this is a current shot of the homepage at virtualteched.com from my patio.  The laptop is on battery so the brightness is a bit low and obviously the exposure is set for the background, not the black Lenovo Thinkpad T60 in the foreground.  The picture doesn’t do the pool justice but as you’ll recall, it’s big enough for a few of your friends.  Sorry, you can’t see the “refreshments” just to the left of the laptop. Gotta go work on on some important business.
