At JavaOne, after the first day

[backerman]

1. Kabuki Springs is cool. Have to go again sometime. The yakiniku restaurant next door is decent, but while the wagyu (Kobe beef) is good, it's not $38 good.
   
2. The JavaOne network is... interesting. It doesn't seem to like my computer—or at least one of the access points on the third level doesn't. Everywhere else, no problemo, and plenty of Macs connecting where mine won't. And I'm sure next time I go over to that area it'll work.
   
3. Ran into mhaithaca, which was nifty and unexpected.
   
4. Other World Computing has gone downhill recently. More on that later, I suppose. In the meantime, must crash. Now.
