Berlin’s incarnation of the Web 2.0 Expo is up and running at Messe Berlin, and I feel as if I learned more yesterday than I did during my entire undergrad. Here’s a quick roundup of the good, bad and ugly for day one.

The Good: Kathy Sierra. Chock full of useful info and spunk, Kathy is one helluva engaging speaker, a kept the audience fully engaged for the course of her three hour workshop, “Creating Passionate Users”. I’ll definitely be popping into her keynote this afternoon. Bonus: The post-keynote kegs of beer.

The Bad: Lunch. Not that it was bad, because I wouldn’t know. They ran out before the workshop I was attending even finished.

The Ugly: Spotty Wifi. They apparently ran out of IP addresses. Botching lunch is unfortunate; fumbling wifi is a cardinal sin.
