Holy cow, Zap Your PRAM was great. It would take some sort of endless series of biographical novels to explain it all.
Basically it was roughly 50 super interesting people (and me) in a beautiful historical Prince Edward Island cottage slash hotel. All passionate, all thoughtful, all interesting, no shills. Even (maybe especially) when I didn’t think their fields of expertise were things I was interested in, I wound up being fascinated.
Thanks to the adorable silverorange team for all the hospitality and amazing dessert per day ratio. I don’t know that there’s a nicer group of people to have yell “bum sex†at you on the street.
I was nervous about giving my first ever talk/presentation but it seemed to go well and lots of people said nice things about it. It was both awesome and intimidating to be talking to such a knowledgeable crowd. Seems like it’d be easier to talk to dumbasses, but the feedback wouldn’t be as rewarding.
For a general list of what went on, Stephen DesRoches has an excellent write-up and some beautiful photos.
My camera actually died as I sat in the Ottawa airport getting ready to go. So all I have is a crappy cell phone picture of the metal cow in the Charlottetown airport. Which is above.

Hey, what a coincidence… Eugene left the same comment on my blog!
Your presentation was interesting. Enjoyed it very much.
I hope someone buys your celebrity death match idea.

It was nice meeting you, and hearing about the creative process (seeing the sausage being made!) was enlightening. The success story about free content was heart-warming.
Many of us also were impressed with “doubling” tracks. And now we’ll all do that in podcasts.

The photos of the event are incredible. The venue looks like the sort of place you’d expect a high-society murder mystery to take place.
