I was happy about the Quiz Show, too.  ;-)  . It was great having Rob back.

Some other highlights for me:

- Mark's and Carolyn's tutorial on SAs in the business world (the importance of 
trust, application of game theory, rockets vs. 747s, limits on sizes of social 
groups, etc.)

- Jacob's storage tutorial (the firehose: a full day of new storage tech in 3 
hours)

- Ben Rockwood imparting the history of operations management in the keynote

- Michael Stonebraker laying out where new data storage models can work best 
(or not)

- Rodrigo Campos describing the use of queuing theory in modeling future server 
capacity

- Erik Kastner and John Goulah providing insight into operations thinking at 
Etsy

- walking the Freedom Trail

- an awesome barrel-aged sour red ale at Cambridge Brewing Company

- Leon
