Lessee, it's about day two-and-a-half in sunny Austin. We went to see the nonexistent bats under the Austin bridge, which was cool. And by "cool", I mean "the food at the restaurant was cool where we could eat and wait for the bats to not arrive". I'm sure Drew has more details. Today he's going to take me to see the frozen bigfoot. And tomorrow maybe Piltdown Man.

I did an all-day seminar sponsored by Sun (not all Java thankfully) about various open-source thingies that'd be useful for game developers. I also went to "Hardcore Games for Casual Audiences" which was quite a bit better than its horrid title would suggest.

And I attended a couple of Flash seminars. I think tomorrow will be a seminar on how to build YouTube support in your games (which sounds rather cool). After that, I'm not really sure what I'll be doing. I might just head home.

Loads of cute trade-show goodies for the critter. I'll post pictures I'm sure. I also got myself wrapped up in some kind of new Indie Game Developer portal thingy which actually sounds rather good. I hope the gamedev people don't get jealous.

I'll keep you posted.
