Actually, it was more like $75.

Got to spend a little time at the O’Reilly Emerging Tech Conference last Thursday. Saw Rohit Khare do a little thing on “SOAP routing” and a 7-layer burrito stack, or something. He’s a rock star. Met Dave Winer for the first time. Enjoyed a little SOAP vs. REST debate that included Paul Prescod and Sam Ruby. Saw lots of people from afar.

Spider-Man was perfectly cast. Perfectly paced. Perfectly captured a lot of what made the comic book great. In many ways I enjoyed Spider-Man more than Episode II. So far, this summer blows away last year’s season. Of course, it could be my acutely lowered expectations. Remember, on the Battlefield Earth sliding scale, everything relatively sucks, just as all meat tastes relatively like chicken.
