Back in the U.S.S.R…. Australia
Greetings! I have returned to Australia after an uneventful series of flights and a 6-hours stopover and Sydney Airport. The trip was a resounding success, I met a whole stack of interesting and intelligent people and my contacts list has tripled in size. I learnt many things from WWDC itself and am really looking forward to next year. Also: Snow Leopard is going to be awesome.
I’ve definitely come back a much bigger fanboy than I was when I left; haven’t decided if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I also managed to acquire a few pieces of work from some of the various people I met. On consumer side, I bought far too much junk at the Apple Company Store as well as the regular Apple Store. I was also pleased to acquire the new Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition books.
I’ll be posting about some new projects I’ll be getting started on soon, but until then: the Barenaked Ladies are awesome and you should all go and listen to them. Immediately I say!
On an unrelated note, I now own far, far too many random t-shirts and anyone planning on going to WWDC in the future should definitely pack very few shirts – but pack far more of your own business cards than you ever think you’ll need!
PS. Noise cancelling headphones are the best thing ever for long flights.
