This AM, my dear wife took me on a running tour of the waterfront. When I get a chance I will post a little more about the public spaces and recreational life style here, but suffice to say, everybody runs. So, we ran up along the parks and promenades for a while and ran back to the convention center through more parks and promenades.
Post run we stopped to get our badges and swag. The much longed for conference matrix showed up in the swag bag. And we are good to go. Lots of people at the Convention Center this AM as there is bus transport to Coronado which has a big 4th celebration and is a funky place to visit (we were there yesterday). I am not sure if it was the trip, but I was surprised to see so many people picking up badges so early in the AM. The desks opened at 7AM and we were in line (sweaty, but in line) about 7:20.
I was disappointed by the conference listing about the $100 laptop. It says that "weighted" ,models of the case will be available and people can play with the prototype motherboards. This is what they are offering to beta testers and when I looked at that site It seemed like you really needed to know the ins and outs of motherboard hardware to make a go of it. Not NECC's fault but I was hoping for more. Off to the Zoo! NECC action picks up tonight so time to squeeze in another round of sight seeing.
