Apple Party

Dec 26 2006 Published by under Uncategorized

So we went to the big party at Apple. Renowned techno musician BT was the surprise musical guest. It was kind of weird to visit the place I’ve been idolizing since I was five years old. Sitting around, eating tacos, joking with programmers, listening to the music, going to the bathroom, all I could think was “I’m at *Apple*”.

WWDC 2006

Dec 08 2006 Published by under Uncategorized

WWDC was pretty neat, and pretty weird. Like when I went to MacHack, or camped the Apple Store opening in Milwaukee, I found that it’s easy to feel alienated even among what’s supposedly “my own kind”. While around most people I feel too nerdy to fit in properly, at these events I feel like I’m not nerdy *enough*. At least there was plenty of learning to be done, making it worthwhile. I saw a real live [Stevenote](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenote), though Steve didn’t spend a lot of time on stage himself. I attended a bunch of sessions, met and dined with a bunch of important people, and played a lot of late-night Munchkin with my fellow bar-avoiding coworkers.
