geek cruises
my brother sent me a link to geek cruises, and i think the concept is awesome & hilarious. there are all kinds of cruises—photoshop fling, macmania, linux lunacy, perl whirl and more—that go to all sorts of exotic locales from the mediterranean to alaska to the baltic sea. these are just like regular cruises with the lido deck & all, but they also include seminars on geeky topics. i certainly wouldn’t mind learning while on vacation, and i think seminars could be a great way to pass sailing time between ports, especially because i never find the shows & other entertainment on cruises all that interesting. oh, and i’m a nerd.
the most amusing part of the website is the page about convincing your boss to pay for the cruise for you. they certainly make a good argument. and they will even anonymously send persuasive literature to your boss.
