Tuesday "Just for Fun": What's in "The Bag" - TechEd 2008 vs. MMS 2008 Edition
Sometimes you just gotta' love those guys over at TechNet Edge. They run around all the Microsoft conferences with little handy-cams and film just about everything they see. They even shot a quick video of me back at MMS.
For both MMS 2008 and Tech Ed 2008 they shot a quick video talking about what people were getting in their "schwag bags". Interestingly enough, the bags from MMS appear to have won out!

For me, the funniest part about Tech Ed's bags were the little Nalgene water bottles they gave out this year. Turns out that some kinds of these bottles actually produce a deadly poison (or, well, at least something you really don't want to drink) unless you wash them out with soap and water first. So, at every table where you picked up your bag, you found signs warning you not to drink the water unless you soaped out your bottle first.
Sheesh. Come to Tech Ed and get a deadly poison (sort of)! ...and I thought the air travel to get there was dangerous enough... :)
