Boldly going to IBM Rational 2008

"The conference itself was great, but the cartoon super-hero theme was a bit overdone. I understand trying to appeal to the geeks in attendance, but there's a fine line between geek and nerd — and that line was crossed. I can handle geeky, but not nerdy. It's one thing to have a theme; it's something else entirely to run that theme into the ground. In the past five years I've attended this conference, this is by far the worst theme. Better beer selection at receptions may have helped with my theme-tolerance levels."
