I have written a few posts hilighting the Gnomedex 2007 experience on my new personal blog over at www.independentinnovation.net.  

However, from a Microsoft perspective, I find it interesting that, although we're a sponsor, and the great party last night at the Seattle Aquarium was sponsored by http://maps.live.com, we seem to have little visible presence at this years conclave.  True, our logo is on the slideshow shown between speakers but one of the first things you encounter after the registraiton desk this year is the Google booth!  They're both recruiting and giving away free signups to GrandCentral.

I'm off to immerse myself in Day 2 and we'll see what happens there.  I'm especially looking forward to Stewart Allen's talk about alternative and soon-to-be-available renewable energy sources.
