Last night was the big WWDC bash, and the music was OK Go! I wish i could say the sound quality was good enough but it really sucked ass, sort of like the food this year. The sessions were very iPhone\/iPad based and after seeing so many of them I think I really want one. But I’m still holding out for a video conferencing camera, even though I NEVER VIDEOCONFERENCE. It’s my weird hang-up, so I’ll have to deal with it. Anyway, the lunches were especially bad and we didn’t get as much loot this year. Usually we get a t-shirt mailed to us, a laptop bag of some sort, and a DVD with the latest OS on it. This year we got a nice American Apparel jacket which I’m sure I’ll use much more than the bags, but it still seemed like I should get more swag. I did score a “square” so I can take credit card payments. Not that I have anything to take payments for, but it’s still swag.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I did get to spend some time drinking with an online friend from London who no longer seems like he’s 12, though he was born in the year I graduated from MIT. This morning it was tough staying awake at the WWDC sessions. After the conference ended at 2PM, I sat in the hotel lobby for the afternoon, feeling a little sick. I finally realized it was my allergies that were bothering me.<\/p>\n
The worst part was trying to make it back home. I got on the Super Shuttle and they had no idea what they were doing. I scheduled a 6PM ride to the airport and they spent an hour driving around San Francisco picking up other people. Then they finally picked up two random people at a hotel and crammed nine of us in that van somehow. I got to my flight 10 minutes before boarding started and I was in a bad mood. At least I made it home.<\/p>\n
So now that I’m here I have to move my data around my hard disks and do all the weird stuff I was thinking of doing at the conference. Or sleeping. I think I really ought to be doing the latter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
