SST Conference on 11/20/09

This was my first time attending the South Sound Technology Conference ( SST ) , The best part was lunch of course ( catered box lunches), listening to the guest speakers /panels especially Richard Purcell . I was fascinated with the example he did putting in some one's phone number on google and then the name showed up of the person along with an image of the location in the Maps section, and his example about telling a cashier your phone number at the store and the person behind you can use it to find out your name, where you live and all sorts of information about you like those 2 websites we saw in class ( peekyou.com and 123 people.com) that's very scary.

The conference was well overall, I just think that there should be more "hands on activities" next time, like working with some of the different types of technologies. I'm interested to hear more about the seminar in April 2010.
