The best advice I was given by people who have been at WWDC before was to focus on getting time with the engineers. All the sessions are streamed as videos, and you can spend time later to watch the ones you missed. This is excellent advice! I stared the day yesterday with getting with the […]
So, I’ve had dinner, and am currently skipping the Loop party that I had gotten tickets to. I am tired, exhausted and really excited. So the following picture talks about the key things that the Apple team was going to talk about at the keynote for iOS: Let’s break it down: The first icon is […]
This is my first year actually getting to WWDC. And I can say, the two hours sitting in the keynote went a lot faster than I expected. I am really excited to download some new code and get things tested out. I will keep my home iMac on the current High Sierra so I can […]
Ok, I am sure many people use this same joke… but When I got here, I realized the last time I was in San Jose was 2008 for a Virtual Worlds Conference. It’s amazing how memories cause you to think things look one way, and they don’t really look that way. I guess that is […]
After trying for years, I am heading to WWDC this year for the first time. I understand that there are a ton of – non-Apple events that happen at the same time, but I am heading to WWDC not those other events. I will be going to a few events in the evenings, but I […]
One of the most revealing outcomes of the GDPR over the last few weeks is the number of “small companies” that I support via SW purchases, subscriptions, website usage, etc. that have suddenly revealed themselves to be part of a larger conglomerate. I am sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to many of you, […]
Another year another Moogfest in Durham, NC. As the conference wrapped up I was able to look back and discover a problem with some of the sessions. The Moogfest team had a mobile app that allowed me to setup my schedule and plan out each day; one thing I did was print out a copy […]
In college I got a degree in journalism, and even before college I was a big 1st amendment supporter. The reason it is the first amendment was to make sure that we have a set of checks and balances that keep our government in check. Today Chelsea Manning gave a keynote event at Moogfest. Unlike […]
While some of the sessions I had signed up for had disappeared, I was able to hit a few really great sessions. The first was Madame Gandhi (not her real name but the name of her music project). She shared a lot of her musical influences and then showed how she builds up a song, […]
Well, Moogfest Day 1 is over, and looking back, I had a good time, but it seems that things are no where as organized as the last two years. Having set up sessions at a major conference before, I understand the complexity of trying to manage sessions, attendees, speakers, etc. And we are you are […]
