Still decompressing from two days of intense sessions. A few thoughts:

• I need to get more involved with the Drupal community.  Dare I go back to hanging out in IRC channels all night?  What’s a good IRC client for the Mac?
• For $20 I got Drupal training, four meals, soda, wifi, and two t-shirts.  That’s a great deal.
• Google Docs is handy.  I was able to take notes during a session and share them with my co-workers with just a few clicks.
• I borrowed my 15″ Dell laptop back from Amy.  It was so nice to have a full-sized screen & keyboard for typing 9 hours straight over two days.
• I’ll probably clean up my notes this week and post them here.  They’re going to make videos available, but who knows how long that’ll take?

I’m at a Starbucks, somewhere just off the UIC campus.  Amy’s chemistry lab started at 8, so I got up bright & early to hitch a ride from her.  We caught up on Sonic Newsdriver episodes on the way downtown, and I listened to the latest episode of You Look Nice Today as I wandered the area looking for something to do and a public restroom.

Drupal Camp Chicago opens its doors in 20 minutes.  I should probably head back to the Innovation Center on campus.  By 7pm tomorrow, I will be a Drupal ninja, ready to take on Views, Ubercart, and all that kinda stuff.

AT&T DSL customers get free WiFi at Starbucks, BTW.  It saved me from boredom this past hour.

The Obama campaign has a new ad out showing how much money a shoe salesman will be able to save under their tax plan. As a former shoe salesman, my interest is piqued:
