Ignite SF

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? We'll find out during Ignite SF at Web 2.0 Expo SF.

Having the Ignite talks in Moscone (last year), while maybe less "fun" I think overall lent to a better environment if you actually wanted to hear the talks. Of course, having more convenient access to alcohol was definitely a good thing... since quality is variable (as always). Luckily the timer means people have to get offstage so it never gets as bad as it could.
My favs: Xian, Robots, Kathy, Lane
I thought, "it's only a few blocks, I'll walk there". Next thing, I'm wandering alone through the Tenderloin at dusk. Oops!
I know, it's a typical SF newbie trap... but hey, not all Web 2.0 Expo attendees are lucky enough to live there :)
Very uneven, but Christian Crumlish, the Robot guy, and the Instructables woman rocked, and Kathy Sierra was awesome.
