On that same note, I've also been looking around the extreme markup conference site and wishing I could afford to go to these kind of events. Reading the abstract from this years keynote – William Kent. Data and Reality, really sends the shivers up my spine. Kent says: “Many texts and reference works are available to keep you on the leading edge of data processing technology. That's not what this book is about. This book addresses timeless questions about how we as human beings perceive and process information about the world we operate in, and how we struggle to impose that view on our data processing machines.
Wow, what a keynote that would have been.
