I spent the weekend hanging out with a bunch of geeks at the first ever StixCamp, which was held at Welshman's Reef Winery, just outside Newstead, Victoria. Everything was awesome, which was definitely the word of the weekend. I think it must have been muttered on average once every 3 and a half seconds.

I'm told by reliable sources that the wifi reached to the tents, but I restrained myself and just went to sleep.

Highlights for me were Paul Fenwick's talk, "Hacking Other People's Brains", Ron's tour of the winery, the discussion led by Dave Hall about "broadband" in the bush, the vegetarian omelette that Paul Fenwick made, meeting people I'd only talked to virtually, and generally talking geek with people.

Thanks to the awesome main organisers (Ben Balbo, Dave Hall, Kathy Reid, Donna Benjamin, Joshua May).
