The convention's over and we've wrapped everything up for this year. No other conventions or events until 2010...
IB 2009 was a blast! We had 1500 people across all three days and over 200 games to play. We gave out over $2000 in tournament winnings and prizes, and even set some world records. We're very excited about the turnout, and we're already working on making 2010 twice as big and twice as awesome. Thank you to everyone who joined us! We'll have an announcement in the coming weeks regarding the date and location for Infinite Bits 2010. In the meantime, check out some pictures from the event:

game, Battlecruiser 3000AD (a.k.a BC3K), which he started developing in the late 1980’s in Europe. BC3K went on to become the de-facto
standard for niche space games. Over the years, he has been a prominent industry player & regarded as one of the quintessential indie
developers. Derek & his games have been featured in many print & online publications, including Computer Gaming World which wrote an
in-depth profile in issue #201 (April 2001). His solely owned company, 3000AD, Inc, has developed 12 PC games based on his industry

you ask him, he will tell you, “Work is not my life. I live my work.” The word “ordinary” is not in Daniel’s vocabulary. Everything he touches &
everything that comes out of Blink is extraordinary.
