Finally! After attending dozens of tech conferences in the past few months where the best giveaways were mints and baseball hats, I land at the D6 conference (all stories), where the goodie bag has, historically, fulfilled the potential of being, you know, good. This year at D6: some nice toys. See the video for the rundown.

In truth, I found last year's swag bag a bit more entertaining. Hard to top YouTube tube socks.

Maybe CBS can spare a few of their cameras. Local affiliate anyone?; Reply to this comment
