Last night, TechEd Australia officially started with a welcome party for the delegates at the exhibition hall. It was a balanced diet of shouting, screaming, bull riding, drinking, food and freebies.

A (free) drinks dispenser running SQL Server. Great uptime and efficiency!

Silverlight and Popfly merchandise. I find it weird you even have to pay to be a walking billboard for Microsoft.

I swear, people were surfing MySpace and Facebook on these computers. They paid money to do this?
