25 or 6 to 4
I’ve always wanted to be in Times Square at midnight on New Years Eve. Still do. I’ve hit most of the major US events you can list. Mummers Parade, Macy’s Parade, Rose Bowl Parade, and yes… Halloween at Ohio University. I’ve camped for Kiss tickets.
So this year I decided to listen to the local rumours (that I’d been spreading) and go out to the WWDC Keynote line at 3:15 in the morning. I sit here 18th in line.
It’s been an interesting 24 hours since registering. The crowd is for the most part very new at the the conference. I believe well over 65% are at the conference for the first time. This will be my 10th year at the conference. I started attending in 1997 and took the last 3 years off.
As I mulled through the pre-registration yesterday I contemplated if I’d run into anyone that I knew from previous years. Ironically my mulling was interrupted very quickly by running into a friend I made my first year.
This will be a fairly short entry… There are likely to be several short entries over the next week. I find my interest, knowledge and interest in Online Social Networking gets an interesting boost when I take it offline.
