    I thought it was going to be a day when people were supposed to bring me flowers and cards, or take me out to lunch and things like that.

    But it turns out to be educational stuff that's supposed to be good for me. I'm sure Google means well, but I already know enough to be dangerous. People should put more effort into appeasing me and less into pouring oil on that particular fire.

    Not really, but... come on, one event in the entire US, compared to three in Europe within 1000 km of each other? We don't even get one on each coast?

      Those 3 in Europe are in coutries which speak different languages. How would you like your only option to be the one in Madrid? Think you'd get anything out of it?

    Its mainly about developing using Google's APIs. KML, AJAX, Atom, that sort of thing. Sure, the tips and tricks are already known, but its still useful to have an intensive session where they are presented to you by the people involved in their creation, rather than spending untold hours filtering through the crap on online forums to find the useful tips.
