Chris Marquardt invited me to be the "celebrity guest" at this year's Ft Collins, Colorado Happy Shooting workshop. This is the second year in a row I've done a workshop with Chris (the previous one in San Diego), and I can only say that if you missed out on this one, you're really missing out.
Someone commented on my Flickr picture, pointing out that this snap I made at the FISL had many many Mac laptops. They're right. Here we at the largest open source conference in the world, and it's Mac all the way. I see the same thing at OSCON in the US. Open Source people are flocking to the Mac now that it's real Unix and real x86.
What particle is injected to perform this Tux split?
I don't ever want to go home! But my visa expires in a few weeks.
Just like in 1983, I'm:
- Using an AT&T phone (although it's an iPhone now)
- Working with Real Unix® (although it's now just OSX as certified by the people who own the trademark)
- Hacking Smalltalk with Servio Logic (although they now call themselves Gemstone)
- Shooting hundreds of photos with my SLR (well, it's a DSLR now, at a fraction of the cost per shot)
- Shooting video (well, my pocket point-and-shoot camera records to SD instead of BetaMax, at a fraction of the size and price, and I'm pretty sure I didn't upload it to YouTube back then... it was My Tube TV)
- Driving a red sports car (it was an MR-2 back then, and a Camaro now)
- Without a girlfriend (well, some things never change!)
If you haven't seen my Flickr pages recently, you might not have seen that I now have over 75 images in my "photobooth project", where I take pictures with my MacBook Pro's "iSight" camera, and upload them to Flickr with the proper geotagging and annotation. I've been doing this for over a year, and don't think I've duplicated any location yet. Check out the map for my globetrotting.
