Have You Seen Brett Martin?

The guy was supposed to buy me lunch. He said Internet Week. I showed up on the first day of Internet Week. He was nowhere to be seen.

I guess a penny saved is a penny earned.

Apple Is All Over The News

Apple seems to feel about the mobile space like Microsoft used to feel about the PC space. Before Bill Gates retired he had threatened to eat up anti-virus services like Norton. During the span of Bill Gates' career numerous companies got eaten up. It was like the Sun would expand and eat up Mercury, and then it would expand some more and eat up Venus. Apple seems to be doing something similar.

In capitalism though, it is about the consumer. I am not an Apple person, so this does not affect me much.

I have had my cloud a long time. It's called the browser.

Internet Week: Day 1: Observations

I am so revisiting my decision to camp out at one location for Internet Week. (One Location, Camping Out) I did that one location thing today, and it was not the best of experiences. I mean, it was good. It was pretty good. But I had this lingering feeling that I was missing out. There's a lot happening at other sites as well. I complained a few days back about how Social Media Week has you going all over town, and that is not the best idea, and I am not so sure no more. There is a certain thrill to ending up at a new location.

The Metropolitan Pavilion is a great venue, but it really is just this one big open space. There's the main stage, and there's the AOL stage, and both have bad acoustics. And there is this classroom. I spotted Charlie O'Donnell in there towards the end of the day. He be pontificating. The final event of the day was an Onion event. Onion's three developers presented. Baratunde was apparently back from Georgia and in the audience. The dude had been flooding my Facebook stream with his tweets. Apparently Kevin was on the same trip: small world.

The BuddyMedia stall was the best one. They were serving popcorn. I had three bags. And there was this stall that had this game projected on the wall called swatting birds. I got two workouts playing the game.
