I don't think I've been quite so thrilled to be anywhere before. What an amazing and diverse group of people... I was lucky in that most of the talks I caught were also really interesting and informative. My eyes were really opened. I'm hoping that I can be a little more active next year, and I am absolutely going next year. (Was anyone else there? Has anyone else been? Anyone here a regular? Compendium posse next year?)
Didn't log in for a while because there was no way I wanted to subject my computer to any network around the convention!
Vegas was beautiful in day and night, but I didn't plan enough to really make the most of my time there. I got sick of gambling after losing only $30. Just really wasn't that exciting. I got to see the "Bodies" exhibit at Luxor, where real human bodies are "polymerized", if I remember the term correctly. Essentially, everything is plasticized and preserved, and placed on display "as is". So, all of the displays are real human bodies manipulated to display this or that aspect of our biological functionality. Aside from the surreal factor, the displays surprised me in that the proportions of everything inside the human body were not at all what I was expecting. Just strange to know that all it does what it does.
That's all. Just wanted to share and maybe pique some interest.
