I'm not sure what to say about the actual workshop. It's possible that I learned a lot-- I certainly followed what was going on better than I expected to. I coped with being overwhelmed by the number of strangers by talking mainly to people I already knew. That seems like not the ideal way to be at a workshop, but I'm trying to be okay with it. Seidel started one of his talks by drawing on the whiteboard a picture of a plane dropping bombs.
But really what I want to say is that I found $5. In the mail. In a piece of what I took to be basically junk mail, from the Nielsen people. So open that one, if you get it.
