It's Sunday and I'm back at home from Raleigh. The Hoedown really got pulled off. Nathaniel and Jeremy did a great job organizing and keeping things moving throughout the weekend.

The pig pickin' in the park was quite a nice surprise as well. It kept the friendly feel moving. And it was really good too! Carolina BBQ FTW.

The talks turned out pretty great. They (for the most part) stayed away from Rails more than they curbed towards them, so that small goal was accomplished.

I think the best part of all the talks is the awareness the topics received. I've never used C bindings with Ruby, or even investigated, but now I know its not the HARDEST thing in the world, if I ever have to. Also, this goes out to you Adhearsion, you and I have a date. And I think it might just turn into a very beautiful relationship.

The crowd was pretty good and chatty. Everyone was very friendly and as usual had fun stuff to show/talk about.

The lightning talks were great as usual, this really is my favorite format. I really need to get up and do one sometime.

The keynotes were pretty good, although I felt like Marcel's was more of a "talk" where Ken Auer's was more of a Keynote.

Thanks again to all the organizers.

Oh, and the title is a reference to brain games, which no one ever gets, oh well.
