Florida is flat. And by flat, I mean "only just above sea level at its highest point".

This morning I drove from Orlando to Sarasota, cruising down I-4, watching the wildlife as I went. No dead armadillos at the side of the road, but I may have seen a herd of manatees as I crossed a river near Tampa. The roadside ditches were filled with herons and egrets, while turkey vultures and other raptors cruised the skies.

A lovely drive.

Now I'm at Orange's CodeCamp, a developer conference with a difference. It's taking a leaf out of the O'Reilly FOO camps and throwing a group of mobile developers into a campsite, giving them food, drink and wifi... Oh, and ponds full with alligators and snapping turtles.

Now, let's see what happens!

I'm betting on the alligators...

Apparently it is alligator mating season.

Memo to self: learn to run in zig-zags.
