Learning is not a spectator sport

I didn’t get to see as much content as I liked on day 2, because I had still plenty of slides to complete on my own presentation, so I locked myself away in a room at the casino (the conference venue) and worked on content and delivery.

However, once I was happy with it, I sat on a panel about public speaking which actually went quite well – some good audience participation.

After that, I went and saw Graham’s exadata Live presentation, which always blows me away.  Loading, analyzing, querying a terabyte data warehouse in 30 mins is amazing.
