I came from Seattle to Boston/NYC for this and YC NYC tomorrow. Thanks for the post, it made up for me not taking notes :)

Not much of what was said is new or ground breaking, but a couple things just click and get everyone inspired. Just being there and meeting a whole bunch of smart people who are into startups is a great boost.

The speaker I enjoyed most was Patrick Collison, especially with his big picture view of how software will become more and more integrated into everyone's lives. It's one of those thoughts which have been in my subconscious (with some peeks into my conscious every once in a while) and hearing it said out loud just got me fired up.
