FCW Insider: IPIC -- a photo viewpoint

I'm packing up to head back to D.C . this afternoon after being here at IPIC for the past few days. I have a few more posts to come -- and the GITEC board is meeting this morning, so it will be interesting to hear what comes out of that meeting. But here are a few of the sights from IPIC as taken by my trusty (and ever present) iPhone camera. * Quite zone...

Of course, it is supposed to be a "quiet" zone. (See -- proof that we all need an editor.) Well, Pogue signed the sign... and it is being silent auctioned off to benefit the IPIC 2008 charity, the . * "Paige"Yes, Paige is a Bald Eagle. As I mentioned, the IPIC benefit was the World Wildlife Fund, so a number of vendors sought various ways to tie into that theme. Nuance Communications had a Bald Eagle in their booth for the last night. "Paige" is a 13-year-old Bald Eagle and she was the hit of the night. I even got to take my photo with the majestic creature. (I'll pass along the link when they send it along.)* More IPIC animalsThe desert on Monday night of IPIC -- a chocolate panda. His little head comes off and he is filled with mousse. (Fill in your own joke here!) * Even more IPIC animalsCSC VP Elaine Dauphin has a dolphin hat. Yes, really! She tells me that her last name means dolphin in French. Apparently the dolphin hat travels in her golf bag, which means that she has to rent clubs, something that just shocked some golfers.
