So, I have a new plan for Tech Ed this year.  I find that attending like 75 different session over the course of a week is more than I can even begin to absorb.  This year I will focus on Smart Client technology since it is not something I have spent much time looking at in the past.  ASP.NET is great, but I am tired of state management issues.  I want to do smart client applications.  I want to fully exploit serialization.  I want to cache a lot of data on the users machine, not the web server.  Expect to find me hanging around sessions with Tim Huckaby and Rocky Lhotka this year.

Oh, so the point of this post.  I was reading up on some blogs to prepare for the week.  I discovered a brilliant plan by the Microsoft RD's.  Instead of full 1 hour plus sessions they are doing something called Grok Talk.  These 10 minutes gigs are more like technology drive bys.  I look forward to catching a few of these between the fights over the good ice cream bars.  Don't worry Rory and Scott, I am saving the baby carrots for you.
