Me in my hotel room. I can't get wireless internet here - have to go down to the lobby to get online. (Update: I now can get wireless internet from my room. Yea!)
Another view of my desk and laptop in my room.
This is what they call the 'heavenly bed.'
TV, which I don't use. Also on the right is a bottle of water you can drink for $4!

PHP class taught by an expert from ZEND. This is in the
Dinner's dessert.
Gospelcom gave out boxes of candy and nuts to everyone. Last year they only had candy, but this year they had plain nuts, too.
Lunch buffet on Friday. We had baby lettuce, potato salad, chicken or beef sandwiches with lots of different toppings, and soup.
Whats left of the desserts. I got mine earlier, but didn't get a picture until they were almost gone.
A close-up of one of the desserts.
One of the sessions.
Dinner of salmon, rice, and vegetables (yellow and green squash and peppers.) This was after salad and dinner rolls.
Fancy ice cream dessert after dinner. They had free ice cream bars during our afternoon breaks, so this is the third time I've had ice cream today. Everyone laughed at me when I took this picture. I guess I am kind of weird...taking pictures of my food...
A night shot from my window.
Another night shot.

Advanced CSS class taught by Paul Hart of the Image Group.
