Here’s a schedule of things to do. Um, no way to see or do it all so pick and choose and as noted, sometimes the people in the room are not leaving so you might not get into everything. Eat lunch early or late but do not eat lunch between 11:45 and 1:15 … everyone [...]

Not actually blogging from here since we’re only #72,000 on Technorati … there are only about 15 seats … maybe next year. Other than the keynote, there’s not much to see that’s new – I don’t think Adobe is even here. The nicest booth by far is Belkin’s … If this were in Venice, it’d [...]
