09/12/2006: "D.C."

I arrived to D.C. and the G.G.F. conference from N.Y.C. where I spent a few days with Elias A. and co. I travelled down on Amtrak which was around a 3 hour journey. I haven't had time yet to see any of the sites I was planning to visit in Washington. I only manged a brief walk to the capitol where I took this picture. If you look closely you can see that I am wearing my conference badge. I doubt I will be able to visit the space museum. I'm hoping however to book one of the guided tours to Georgetown before I depart. I took another 2 pictures of the capitols which can be seen here and here. :-)

GGF had a number of interest talks most notably the state of the union address by I. Foster and the Enterprise Grid Computing talk by P. Strong of Ebay. There are a couple of talks I am looking forward to inlcuding the security talk by the Microsoft folks. The keynote talks seem to be more interesting this time around. more soon....
