And the following minus: - Alarm clock/CD player with incredibly un-intuitive user interface made programming an alarm impossible. I didn't want to wake up at 6:45 every morning, so I unplugged mine.

If you drove in, this sort of sucks. You could park at a kiss-and-ride and come in that way, I suppose, but that presumes some mass transit sophistication that a lot of attendees probably lacked. I spent $6 on parking Friday night, arriving around 4:30 and leaving before 8. I Metro'ed in the next day, but this luxury some might not have had. In Bethesda, you could find parking. I hate the deep 'burbs. There was also no parking. If you drove in, this sort of sucks.

Heidi MacDonald was there, and posted a bunch of SPX-related information to her weblog, including reports from days one and two, plus a listing of this year’s Ignatz winners, who each literally get a brick as their prize. You can also read Expo observations from Chris Mautner, Johanna Draper Carlson, Xaviar Xerexes, Joe McCulloch and a short, webcomics-centric report from Randall Munroe. More will doubtlessly be forthcoming.
