O'Reilly's Bioinformatics Conference wrapped up with more talks, book signings, a field trip to a missile silo, and a snow storm in the desert.
Tim O'Reilly donned an author's cap and visited with conference attendees during the book signing event. |

A good crowd turned out for the signing event that was held during the afternoon break on Wednesday. |
|
The O'Reilly bookstore was conveniently located right across from the signing event. |
|
Many O'Reilly authors took time to talk with folks, including Doug Tidwell who is also a senior programmer with IBM. |

Break time took a turn for the chilly in the Arizona desert as a snow storm blew into town on Wednesday. |
|
Not many folks were diving into the pool Wednesday ... |
|
After the storm passed, however, the mountains were revealed, creating a beautiful backdrop to the conference facility. |
|
Thursday morning, the last day of the conference, launched with James Ostell, Ph.D., who gave us an inside peek at the activities inside the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). |
|
Not everything was serious study though. Here Michael Morris plays during the Tuesday night Music BOF. |

Some attendees managed to slip in a tour to the Titan Missile Museum, which is the last of the original 54 installations still intact from our Titan II program. Those sites were dismantled after the treaty in the early 1980s. |
