Today is the first day of PDC, and the first of several blog posts from the event.  If you've friended me on Facebook, you'll have seen a note my status the other week that said "I was working on something out of this world, literally."  If you've been to the PDC blog, you'll have seen this post that gave some more details last Friday. If not, I'll fill you in now.

Through my work this year, I've had the opportunity to work with some great organizations - both privately held and the public sector.  One of this organizations happens to be NASA and the folks at the Jet Propulsion Labs in Pasadena.  They are some of the smartest and coolest people you'll ever have a chance to meet.

Don't take my word for it, have a chat with them and find out for yourself. That's right - NASA is going to be at the PDC this year.

As you walk into the big room, be sure to check out the robotics area on the right side of the aisle and you'll notice there's a replica of a Mars Exploration Rover and staff from NASA / JPL will be there as well to talk about the Mars Mission.

And once you've chatted with them, swing on by and say hello in the Coding4Fun area where I'll be most of the week. Lots of cool stuff going on there - but I'll blog about that in a later post.
