Sun, 08 Jun 2008RSDC day 3Posted to Work categoryThis morning we started out listening to William Shatner. He is a good reader, ok ok, he's a good speaker too, but he was clearly phoning it in and reading a hacked up version of a speech he's giving before, with vague references to how software development is like making movies. It was an enjoyable talk and I hope they continue to get people of Mr. Shatner's caliber in the coming years.Around 2ish we broke down the booth, packed up and a few of us went back to the condo to take naps (we're getting old). Wednesday night is the special event. It's the time you get to go do something unusual with your industry peers. This year we were treated to Universal Studios. We've been to Universal's Islands of Adventure twice, but this was the first time to the other 1/2 of the theme park. We had season passes to Universal last year, so I'm fairly familiar with the park. The new attraction was the Simpson's ride. Which was outstanding. It's not exactly original, they revamped the Back to the future ride to make it into the Simpsons, while I'll miss the Back to the Future ride, the Simpsons ride is hands down just a better ride. It's was around 1:30 before we all got back to the condos to rest up for the last day. Posted at: 9:30 amCommentsYour Comment |
