Gnomedex – HP’s Party

I am freshly back from the pre-registration party at Gnomedex 2007, sponsored by Hewlett Packard. That means I spent some time talking to the reps from HP. The guy who is (I believe he said) the head of the design team for their notebook PCs. Interesting conversation. He was showing us their new tablet form factor PC as well as their huge 20 inch notebook PC (which weights 15 pounds). They have great screens, though. Actually the laptop I am typing this post on now was on display there as one of their new models (not this particular computer, but one like it).

I also had a good conversation with the guy behind Minekey.com. Check this thing out because it is an interesting mix between blogging and social media. Essentially, it uses a cookie similar to MyBlogLog which tracks you across multiple blogs. As you build up a history of reading, it will custom tailor recommended links from selected RSS feeds based on your reading preferences.

I also saw the serving end of Chris Pirillo’s Ustream channel. Met a guy who works for Ustream who was manning Chris’s feed. I might have some more to say on this a little later…

I’ll keep it short because I want to get some shut-eye. HP and Chris put on a nice party. Open bar there for awhile, provided by HP. That’s always a nice touch.

You can view photos I am posting over on my Flickr account.
