thumbs up:

• autosoap
• ny chedder kettle chips in my lunch
• portland (and its public transportation)
• refactoring your rails app presentation content
• starcraft (anyone want a game?)

thumbs down:

• slower than slow wifi (how much are we paying?)
• having to pass presentation materials around on usb drives
• asking questions by shouting (can we get something better? We’re programmers right?)
• presentation skills at #railsconf
• AIR presentation – I’m here to learn about Rails, not flex.
