Last year I got to be an official photographer at Haas's >play conference. Once again my picture taking skills were sought out by the organisers (or maybe I asked nicely if I could help...) and I found myself at >play 2009, snapping away at the latest gadgets and developments in the digital media world. I even got a free t-shirt!
First things first - registration.
Lots of cool stuff is here...

Interested spectators.
Neuroboy is a game you control with your mind. Perfect if you're uncoordinated.

SugarSync - make sure you can get to your files from your phone, office, and home. Alternatively, write everything down on a piece of paper and carry it everywhere with you.
Ohhhhh yes, the free t-shirt! Powder blue is my colour.
