For reasons I sometimes just don't understand, people seem to assume I know what I'm talking about. (Go figure) This is often a disconcerting thing, but it does have its upside--I get invited places to talk to folks, which is cool. (I like to travel :)
Next week's a workshop at IBM, "Future of Virtual Execution Engines", filled with a bunch of folks significantly more clever than I am. They say there may be video available of it. (Dunno if it's in-house only, or will be public. I'll find out, and I plan on taking a lot of notes)
Saturday October 2nd I'm giving a full day workshop in Cambridge MA, hosted by the Greater Boston ACM chapter. That should be fun -- six hours of mixed-mode parrot and perl 6 talks. Woohoo! Who knows, if I do my job right there you may well be able to write a compiler to target parrot by the time I'm done. That'd be quite keen. Who knows, maybe one of the local MIT denizens can be conned/coerced/enticed into putting together a working Scheme compiler...
Update: Found a link to the workshop.

That indeed sounds like a cool conference, particularly with all the GC folks (Zorn, Boehm, etc.). I assume, of course, that you'll be taking and posting copious notes ;).
