Macworld Final Thoughts

1. Most Unexpected part - Star Spotting

I’m walking down 4th street with my girlfriend Kelly on the way to Macworld in the morning and who passes us walking down the street drinking his coffee, no body guards or anything. Dave Chappelle!!. I had my mouth hanging open while knudging my girlfriends arm in a spaztic fashion. She quickly caught on and started in with her own mouth hanging stare which is probably how he thinks everyone looks these days. Anyway, I wanted to yell “Rick James! B**th!” but held back and let the man be. That alone made our Macworld.

2. Funniest Part

We laughed for an hour and a half straight during the Kevin Smith presentation. He talked about where he thought Steve Jobs could go from here to improve the iPhone, which I can’t really speak about in this Family oriented blog. He also talked off subject about his movies including his upcoming appearance in Die Hard 4. Which is really cool despite the title “Live free or die hard”. Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?

3. Biggest Disappointment

It could have been Leopard not being released but it wasn’t. It was the Adobe Booth.

1. No Apollo demos.

2. I walk up to there booth where there is a “Ask an expert sign”. As my girlfriend is watching, I ask the expert if they have any apollo applications we could look at. He just looks at me in an uninterested fashion and says “no”. Then i continue with “I’m just really excited to try it out”. Which he then just nods expressionless at me almost as though he has no idea what I’m talking about. I then turn to my girlfriend who is rolling her eyes and mockingly saying in her best naisely geek voice (which is hilarious) “i’m just so exxxxcited”.

So no apollo and I had to endure the taunting from my woman. Lucky for us in SF, Ted patrick has made up for this with a meet the Flex team event which I’ll be at next week at the Adobe offices.
