Dan Ingalls and Avi Bryant both look like great talks. Also I would like to see what discuss might occur between the two of them.<p>Leah's talk sounds interesting as well. I totally agree with the little paragraph about putting yourself in bad situations.<p>I once heard that the word for crisis and opportunity is the same word in chinese. I don't know if that is factually correct, but i like the way it sounds so i choose to believe it without doing any fact checking.<p>You gotta rock the boat, put yourself in impossible places and force yourself to become better than you are. When things are going well for too long, time to mess them up!<p>I miss CUSEC (wish i was in montreal now), what a great conference. I don't see Dr. Peter Grogono listed as a speaker, that's too bad as he is a great speaker and quite funny.
