If I ever see this at EclipseCon…

…I may just lose it.

I’ve had this darned picture—taken at JavaOne 2007—on my desk for a little more than a month. I keep looking at it and thinking that I should scan it, put it on my blog and then send the original to the shredder.

As I look at this picture, I think several things:

  1. What the heck is Duke anyway? It looks like a badly infected (and seriously damaged) incisor.
  2. With a little more effort, maybe they could have had Dora the Explorer or Stanley and Dennis (who I understand aren’t doing much since their show was cancelled) there as well
  3. Why did they use a Polaroid instant camera rather than digital? (JavaOne: bringing you 1947’s technology today!)
  4. Why don’t we do something like this for EclipseCon 2008?

Fortunately, I already know the answer to that last one…
