RUC and roll

RUC aka Rational User Conference will be held at Mandalay Bay, Vegas this year. Pat and Joe are presenting. I wish I could be there. I wish I could present something. I've got all this knowledge inside me, and my only outlet is to contribute at CMCrossroads. Not that there's anything wrong with contributing there, but I wish I could be out there, delivering that knowledge personally instead of through electronic medium.

OK, part of it is also the pride factor. I think I can't stand to think, even for a second, that my knowledge factor is any less than Joe's. In fact, I know that I know more than he does. Pat's a different story. The guy is damned smart, no question about that. But that's the way the dice falls. He's team lead in EBay, and I'm a contractor in IBM. EBay sends him and Pat, and IBM... well, like I said, I'm just a contractor.
