That was awesome. I've never met so many intelligent, ambitious, and just plain appealing people in such a short amount of time. I received a lot of the kind of advice and inspiration I'm always looking for as well as a couple major epiphanies. Truly - all the galaxies have once again realigned themselves in my small, turbulent mind ;). Being exposed to all that greatness, I now feel a kind of pounding regret from already having wasted so much time not doing what I now wish I had done. Ahh!!

I'm too busy at this moment to do a complete overview of what I got out of the conference (there's also the Getting Real workshop and the Rails Studio I've been meaning to write about) so for now, I'll just briefly mention my favorite part.

Out of the 550 attendees at RailsConf, only about 10 were women, so one night we gathered together for dinner where we pretty much laid out all our plans to take over the world the industry :). Well, that's not it completely, but there are many ideas and many plans that will definitely change things once enacted. Getting a glimpse into those strong and passionate and beautiful minds, I knew. This is where I wanted to be.

My mind rendered completely open. Completely and totally opened and my ambitions split apart. Once I'm put back together, I promise you. It's gonna be great.



But not great enough to prevent me from making these silly, barely-related drawings :D

More to come
