Enjoying the MMS 2008 conference, again

Summary: my copies of the DVDs arrived today. It's a chance to enjoy the conference again (and in some ways for the first time).

Many of us have received the MMS 2008 DVDs this week, and others will soon, so now we can finally catch up on the bits we missed. (In fact, this was my worst year ever for attending sessions. Not because I was enjoying the 'activities' (there was some of that), but simply because I had a lot of side meetings and conversations.)

So I loaded up my Zune for tomorrow's hike (Granite Mountain - about 10 miles roundtrip, 3800 feet of elevation game). Despite the speculative aspect of them, I like keynotes, so those are a natural addition. And I'm still keeping an open mind for Powershell, so a couple of those sessiosn are loaded. The State of the Union would be my first choice, but that is only available in PowerPoint form - what happened there? Next week I'll check out the 'meatier' sessions (on the road to a Judas Priest concert).

If you didn't attend the conference and would like to order one, check out:

So which sessions will you be checking out? (and don't feel obliged to say SI21 and SI22)

p.s. Am I the only one that wishes they'd add in the 'promo' videos? The comedian doing his cheesey bits, the attendees, the rock & roll, and the pre-keynote vidoes? I admit to being shallow enough to being inspired by them, and I'd like to continue that enthusiasm throughout the year. Why do they never make it to the DVD?
