I've Got Nothing

I'm in a two day seminar (today and tomorrow) downtown all day and as it's so incredibly scintillating as to just nearly keep me awake, I find I don't really have anything at all to say. Usually this doesn't stop me, as you're all well aware, but, well, there you are.

I will say, it's interesting how speakers try to be relevant and hip. The seminar is ostensibly for computer geeky folk, and so there have been numerous references to:

• 42
• Cranking it to 11
• "I got better"
• More cowbell
• Obtaining the ring
• etc.

The sad thing is, instead of your traditionally geeky audience, most of the people there really appear to be management types and as such there is nary a chuckle or snort. Just vaguely glazed over looks of confusion. While I didn't necessarily find the references amusing, watching them go over like the ubiquitous lead balloon has been kind of fun.
