It lives!

The it in this case is eBay, which is holding its annual eBay Live! conference in San Jose as I type. I decided to attend on a whim, having done a little buying and a little selling on eBay over the past few years. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a trade show. I miss my earlier days in the computer biz, when a show meant more than bad food, aching feet and, if I'm very lucky, a world class hangover.

No hangover at this one. But other than that, I've had a great time. And a useful one too. Not relative to eBay, at least not yet. But I found several solutions for photographing small objects, which might prove useful in my stock photography activities here, here and here. So I've already gotten my money's worth. And that's not counting a free trip to Great America, our local theme park. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that is indeed me in the picture at right. I'm the one on the left.
