Lunch in the Seaport
Overheard at PodCamp
While I understand what this means...
"Will you be posting these links on your Wiki?"
I have never uttered those words in that order. But, I did just hear them.
BTW - This is posting #300 on Platinum Elite. Another milestone!
Virtual drinking
A guy just spoke about SecondLife (I should check this out too...especially after seeing that Dwight Schrute has an avatar on there, but between online poker and SecondLife, I would be fearful of my avoiding in-person human contact altogether, outside of my job).
He has a virtual SecondLife bar in SecondLife Boston that he claims is popular.
I suppose hitting up virtual bars is a good way to stay relatively sober.
Playing Catch Up
Second post from PodCamp, so I suppose I am live blogging.
I have already seen two guys in what seem to be kilts (though one is arguably a dude in a skirt). I have heard one of them speak during a session, and he sounds to be from the UK of Isles, so he gets a free pass. The other, however...
I feel entirely lame to have a Dell computer here, when everyone else has Apple MacBook Pros. The cult of Apple is intimidating. I might have to join.
During my first session (Web 2.0 Tools That Are Actually Useful), I learned about a number of webapps that seem useful, such as Jott - the voice-to-text application, and GrandCentral - the phone number aggregator. A gent named Scott Monty gave the presentation, and he seems to be an upstanding guy.
Someone from PodCamp TV grabbed me for an on-camera interview after the session, I'm assuming because I am that photogenic (and not because I was the first person to walk past her table).
Everyone here seems to use Twitter. I need to get on that.
Someone just referred to the years 1999/2000 as "Way Back"
