Surge 2010

I had the benefit of attending the first ever Surge conference a few weeks back in Baltimore, MD.  I didn't really know what to expect but I was hoping for something similar to Velocity but geared more for operations and scale rather than frontend performance.  The event started off with a great keynote by John Allspaw and Bryan Cantrill which unfortuntately hasn't been put online most likely due to the sharing of some war stories of things going real bad.  All-in-all I thought the conference was really good and there were a lot of great sessions that are worth a watch if you have some time.  Here are some of my favorites that did make the cut and got posted online.
