Over now
Yeah, it's over now (but I can breath somehow. :)
JavaOne 2008 is over and done with and I'm still standing - despite doing a technical session, a BoF (basically an experts panel,) a broadcast interview and getting onstage for the Friday keynote. I definitely have to thank the guys at Sun who helped make all that possible and really enabled jMonkeyEngine to get into the public eye more than ever. It was very exciting to hear the amount of buzz about jME and Java gaming in general. It was also awesome to finally meet several people I look up to in the industry such as Ken Russel, Sven Goethel, Doug Twilleager, Paul Byrne, and of course James Gosling (and many others, sorry I'm still tired.) Special props to Chris Mellisinos who actually does so much more behind the scenes in getting the various factions to support the idea of Java as a gaming platform than most of you realize.
Once I have had time to recuperate a bit I'll try to write more, but for now, check out the following videos:
1. The jMonkeyEngine 2008 reel
2. My interview with Chris Mellisinos
3. The JavaOne keynote I took part in. (I've got about 8 mins of time on stage starting at 36:20)

Cool! Waiting for the detailed post! :)
Cool video... I do not know if it was intentional but I liked how the quality of visuals went up as the video progressed.. so people could get more and more amazed..
That was actually intentional. Glad you liked it!
What was the firs person view game with that big castle? Looks pretty cool! :)
