Microsoft Research is running their annual TechFest this week. Think about Techfest as being a school science far except that all of the "kids" are research PhDs showing off the results of their research projects. And I'm missing it. Again. It always seems to be at the same time as SIGCSE which is probably the one conference I can't really afford to miss for my "day job." Don't get me wrong. I love SIGCSE and there are a bunch of my favorite people here. I am thrilled to be able to see them again. But one of these days I want to be able to walk through TechFest and learn about what MS Research has going on.
Speaking of going on - what's this about do you think? www.defyallchallenges I guess I'll have to visit when the count down ends as no one is telling me what it is about.
