I attended the 2008 Usenix Annual Technical Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. I've attended the Usenix Technical Conference multiple times before, but this was my first visit to Boston.
Sprinkled throughout this blog are links to the notes I took from the conference sessions. If that's what you're looking for, you should probably just go to my convenient index of all my conference notes.
But chances are, you're looking for pictures of all the stupid things I did, ate, and drank. If so, you've come to the right place.

I apologize for any instances of what I call fluid tense
.
See, the thing is, even though this blog has a continuous timelime,
it wasn't written that way: some passages I was writing as they
happened, while others I wrote after the fact. A few I even wrote
in advance, with the expectation that I would touch them up after
the events had transpired.
So, while I've tried to stay consistent, there are probably places where I've slipped up and wobbled between tenses. Sorry about that.
Note that I haven't applied gamma correction to any of the pictures. Gamma correction is less of an issue with LCD displays, but if you're still using a traditional CRT monitor, you might need to turn up the brightness (or adjust the display gamma of your monitor, if you want to get geeky about it).
