Timewarp...

There's a really odd phenomenon (PHENOMENON!!!) I've noticed with geeks. If there are more than 3 in a room time seems to expand and contract at odd intervals. I looked up last night and it was 2:30am, and I was still awake. What's up with that? So I slept in this morning and skipped they keynote session (it should have been a session in itself, and not a keynote). I'm sitting in Joe and Angela's Killer Tips session right now. Always learn something good from that book :)

I'm at TODCON

Are you?

Got into Toronto late last night (9:30 or so) and went straight to the Sushi restaurant. I made Angela eat it (and the faces weren't too bad). The restaurant had a little river around the center area with wooden boats carting Sushi around. Tasty stuff.

The organizers were also nice enough to get us wireless internet access on the conference floor (and it even reaches down to the bar BONUS!!!) so I'm posting in the conference room. I'll try and post regularly so all you people's who didn't make will know what you're missing {insert maniacal laugh here}.

TODCON Keynote

Jeremy's keynote didn't really do a whole lot for me. He talked about Internet 1.0 (the internet of the 90s) and what he sees as Internet 2.0 (the typical Rich Internet experience as well as web services).

I wasn't really sure what the entire presentation was "about" beyond trying to explain what he sees as future internet applications, and how "rich" they'll be.

I still haven't bought into the entire RIA concept... but we'll see where it leads.

He did however mention the "Real Time Opportunity", which, guess what, I'm doing right now :). Don't you love technology.
