I greatly appreciate you holding the event, Shane. Lots of good
information. To be honest, I've been very skeptical of the whole "nosql"
movement and didn't have high hopes for finding any application for mongodb,
but your talk highlighted some very good uses for it that I'm intrigued
enough to pursue.

In short, you got me excited about something I was predisposed to dismiss.
Good job! ;-)
