Hit by Goomba at Usability Conference

Blogging from a Web Guild conference and as I open my laptop to take notes (in the middle of the conference) the speakers blast a sound bite from Super Mario Bros. The speakers are great. =) The moderator not so much. Not incredibly personable and some of the questions are stupid (interpretation: unenlightening, boring, flat, unintelligible). The speakers are doing a great job answering them though, pretty impressive. Some good information and ideas mixed with some humor and some friendly jabs at fellow speakers. Google as always is a good host, though it seems there's a little passive-aggressive behavior toward Yahoo! ;-)

Overall a good experience.
