Well, sitting here at the Las Vegas Convention Center today has me clearly realizing that there are idiots everywhere. From the materials provided for the NAB 2005 (National Association of Broadcaster's) show it's almost impossible to find out what sessions are going on in a particular day and what is interesting and what is not. It's even worse because there are 4 separate conferences you get a ticket for (great deal by the way). So, you can see all the individual conferences, but can't really see the whole thing at a glance.
I put together a comprehensive NAB Schedule Matrix by sucking a few web pages and filtering out the data using Perl. I put it on my Pocket PC and it's the best schedule reference yet for the show. I don't know how it's possible that NAB hasn't provided something like this. Even the PDA kiosks at the show download a set of session descriptions listed alphabetically (pretty useless if you want to know what's on at a particular time of day).

Also, if you're into Internet Radio it would be great to meet up. Leave a message on (415) 367-3435 or send an email using the link on my blog.
