Note: I’m going to try to do a series of daily recaps about my trip to the SD Best Practices conference in Boston.
So the best thing to do when you miss updating a day is to just smush it in with the next one. It is basically for this reason that the ampersand was invented.
During the mornings of the last two days I’ve been able to take in a few more sessions. One was pretty good, a couple were ok, and one was downright awful. But, considering I only had one real dud in my entire time here that’s not half bad. (I guess it would be more like 1/7th bad.) The afternoons were then spent hanging out in the Expo booth talking with people or wandering around talking with journalists.
One of the biggests kicks I had at the Expo was seeing the Intel Chopper that was built by Orange County Choppers. I’d post an image of it but the pictures I took are on Angie’s camera. The matter is further complicated in that Angie’s camera isn’t actually hers, it belongs to Rick who I hear borrowed it from Kelly. The end of this story is that someone that isn’t me has the cable needed to get the pictures and whoever that is is probably in Cincinnati right now. I’ll post them once I get back.
Another interesting thing I’ve been doing this week is looking at the type of notebook computers that are being carried around. In our group there was me with the Mac and then seven other Dells running Windows XP. My unscientific survey showed this percentage to be a little high, I would say there was approximately one Mac for every nine XP laptops.
Notice that I said Windows XP specifically.
I saw nothing running any kind of Linux.
I saw nothing running Vista. Interesting isn’t it?
That’s all for tonight, tomorrow morning is more fun with flying.
