DevLink 2012

Turquoise Turtle let me go with Daddy to DevLink this year. My name is Luigi the Lego Man.

There are over 500 people at DevLink this year. 5 other people from Daddy's work came to DevLink as well, which is really special because he doesn't normally get to seem them.

On the left you can see me inside our hotel room with the Chattanooga Convention Center behind me out the window. The convention center is so big and has lots of meeting rooms for all the classes that take place.


By the time it got to bed I was pretty tired. Daddy stayed up pretty late talking with his friends an co-workers. He tucked me into bed and I slept well through the night.



On the morning of the first day Daddy ate a pretty healthy meal with fruits and eggs. He was going to give his first presentation soon and he likes to eat light before then. Daddy let me have a couple of pieces of fruit. He put hot sause on the eggs and that was a little too spicy for me, but I'm glad he likes it.



After all the sessions for the day a group of us walked downtown for dinner. Wow, it is such a beautiful place. There is a walking bridge we could cross and there was lots of neat things to see.



Once we got to the Hot Dog place it was amazing! As you can tell Daddy and I stuffed ourselves with fries and Hot Dogs. One of them was spicy and one was not. We were pretty satisfied after that.



Daddy and some others (Jim Cowart, Jonathan Creamer, and Jonathan Sampson) decided that instead of walking back that we would rent some bicycles and ride back to the hotel. We thought we could beat those that walked back, but it took us a while to figure out how to check them out. We had a great time riding around. Daddy took a video while we were riding and you can watch some of it in the below video.




As you can tell, we had a blast riding around and thankfully we were all safe!



The next day Daddy didn't have any classes to teach so he decided to have a heartier breakfast and this time have some BACON! I took a couple of pieces myself and ate them too ;)



Daddy and I were so glad that we could connect with you all on FaceTime while we were out of town. It was great to tuck you all into bed and chat with you for a while. We miss you so much and love you all a lot!



On the last day Daddy had one more class to teach. The air conditioning was broken so it was very hot in the room. The presentation seemed to go pretty well. Several people asked questions and some came up afterwards to talk with Daddy.



Daddy was also invited to speak on the closing keynote panel. He was very honored to be chosen to answer questions alongside and Douglas Crockford, Jim Cowart, Brian Hunter, and James Kovacs.



Now, Daddy and I also had a nice milkshake to share as well. As you can tell I almost dove right into the shake and took a swim!



As a speaker for DevLink they gave out huge chocolate bars. Daddy thought you all might like to help us eat it so we didn't open it up just yet, but this is what it looks like. We missed you all so much and look forward to getting home very soon!
