I’ve arrived in Banff for the Blogs n’ Dogs conference. I’d like to present my experience so far in the format of a numerical guide to the conference and city.
-22: The amount below zero it is right now, in °C.
25 to 45: Number of minutes it takes for exposed skin to freeze at this temparature.
5: layers I wore to go to dinner in the building across the street.
30: Number of people participating in the Blogs n’ Dogs, including faculty, participants and special guests.
11, 1, 1: Number of bottles of beer, wine and whisky consumed so far (but it is the night before the sessions start)
1.75: Average Number of desserts most people ate at the buffet I went to tonight.
1: Number of large climbing walls in the recreation center
1: Number of squash courts
1: Number of gymnasiums
3: Number of swimming pools
8 to 5 to 7: Ratio of digital cameras to computers to people in the room
3: Number of seperate discussions we’ve had about the proper “tag” for this conference (conclusion: blogsndogs)
20: Hours until the conference officiall starts
1384: Meters above sealevel we are
13: Customer service representatives I’ve met at the reception, dining hall, stores in town and driving shuttle
8: Number of customer service representatives who were from Australia
I’ll add more numbers as time goes on. Feel free to suggest your own.
Update: First BnD post! But second was Sarah Pullman.
Update 2: BnD is not the same as B&D, which is apparently already taken as an acronym.
