RFID Journal Live
Whoops, I forgot to blog again.
So yeah, last week I was in Orlando for an RFID Conference. It was really nice. The resort I was staying at (Disney's Coronado Springs) was much better than I thought it'd be. I was sorta worried because...
1. I don't like Disney
2. I don't like kids
But, there really wasn't much disney parafanilia and there weren't many kids. Just a really nice resort that served good drinks and held a pretty incredible conference.
As far as the actual conference goes, I learned a ton. I saw some really nice applications, and I met some cool peeps who knew what they were doing. It's going to be exciting to implement a solution at Pioneer - which leads to a funny story. Every time I was talking to a vendor while at the conference I explained our system, which I can't really talk a whole lot about, but it's basically a large automated greenhouse where we track plants. I work for a seed company, duh.
However, given my overall appearance and being one of the youngest people at this conference, I portrayed something different. Apparently when I talked to some people about my need to track "plants" (yeah, they used the finger quotes in conversation), they thought I was talking about some insane marijuana production, haha. It was quite funny to see people's reactions. I shoulda played it up more.
Outside of the conference I had quite a bit of fun as well. I did some swimming, napping in the sun, and running around with Minnis and Kevi. We ate lots. ...And drank lots. It was quite ridiculous actually. BJs Brewery, Jelly Rolls, Sushi, City Walk, Downtown Disney, Ohana's, Miller's Ale House, Mini Golf. Too much food.
I'm starting to not make sense. So yeah, there's much more to say, but I've now told the story too many times so here are pics.
