This year's Revision Party was the event of the year for the meeting of VCS coders. Roughly 80% of the active VCS coders in the world were present. To give the proper context: In absolute numbers, we're talking about five people :-). And I had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet Nick Montfort, professor of digital media at MIT and one of the authors of Racing the Beam. That book triggered my interest in coding on the VCS by making it seem easy, which it is not. We gathered all the Atari VCS guys and were photobombed by the usual Atari ST fanboys. Here's the result.

So now I have my copy of the book signed by Nick. It's been great talking to you, Nick, and the other crazy people there. I hope to see some of you again at Sillyventure. Keep on racing!
