Vancouver is a lot like Seattle, except that it's much bigger, a bit colder, and a fair bit dirtier.
I don't know much PHP at all, but it was a useful and educational experience anyway. I learned about OpenID, rolled my eyes at an antipropertian at the "Open Source in Vancouver" public forum, made some cool tech contacts, such as the guys from DeviantArt.com, and pimped my own projects.
krow took this picture of me Saturday night.
