Don Box just came on.

The one thing I would have changed about his presentation is his hair. I'd like to take him to a day spa where I could have it cut and styled in a manner that pleases me. At the moment, he too closely resembles Jeff Bridges from the Big Lebowski.

That's his choice, though.

Anyway, he was rather entertaining. He covered quite a bit, but the point of his talk seemed to be that things are just too damned complicated right now.

There was also a funny little exchange between Don and Dave Winer (imperfect from memory):

Don: And there are many more people using SOAP right now than XML-RPC. Many more companies are throwing their weight behind it.

Dave (from the audience): Prove it. You have to back that statement up.

Don: Well, just look at the amount of money being thrown at SOAP. The industry support, monetarily, is much stronger than it is for XML-RPC.

Dave: So, you're saying that SOAP is expensive to maintain?

Don: Moving right along...

Overall, not a lot of substance, but still a rousing talk.
