Hi Folks,

I just packed everything and am now on the proceess of acquiring  
courage to leave my warm room at the travelodge and move onwards to  
meet Sivakatirswami and the others in Hawaii.

I'd like to thank the huge effort that Dan, Chipp, Beca, Cristi and  
Carolyn put every year to organize this thing. Many of us just show  
up forgeting how hard is to organize such conference. Every new  
conference is better than the previous one and if my world would be  
much less fun without coming to Monterey every year.

Many came to Monterey this year, some went to the introductory  
sessions and are coming home with a brand new knowledge. Others  
attended niche sections and were able to solve their problems or at  
least were put on to some direction. A huge group attended the NDA  
session and were witness to <I signed an NDA and will not be telling  
you!>.

I am leaving Monterey with the felling that again, this conference  
might have changed my life. I know that in some time, I'll be able to  
gather with Chipp and Dan and remember we talking at Dans office,  
I'll be able to talk to Mark and pinpoint the foundations of what I  
am planning to do. And after talking to Kevin, I have a good clue of  
what I want to do professionaly or inventive-userly speaking.

This is no simple conference for me,  this is a turning point in a  
brand new direction!

Thanks all!
Andre
