After bemoaning the fact that we actively chose to come to a geek conference half way round the world instead of going to Glastonbury - which would have been Blugg's 13th and my 5th - we are so fucking glad we didn't. No, it would not have been fun at all.

Just look at the flooding.
Thank god the geeks saved us. Went for a drink tonight with Dave Winer,
Steve Gillmor, Nick Bradbury - of Feedreader fame - er Bloglines guy (whose name I can't remember - Robert Scoble and his lovely wife Maryam, and Buzz Lightyear.

At least, his name was Buzz something.*

We also met a funny guy who offered to take us for a speedboat ride to see Bill Gates' house! Coolio. Last day of the geekfest tomorrow. We are having ENORMOUS fun.

*Bruggeman actually.
