Gnomedex 8.0 Review
Today is my first day back from attending Gnomedex 8.0 in Seattle. I will likely have several follow up posts on this blog as well as over on PCMech regarding some of the things talked about, but today I wanted to post a quick summary of my thoughts on the event itself.
Gnomedex is a different [...]
Who’s Going to Gnomedex?
Next week, I am flying to Seattle to attend Chris Pirillo’s annual blogger’s conference, Gnomedex. I expect to meet up with a bunch of geeks. It will probably be the most dense collection of Iphones in the state of Washington.
This is my second year going to Gnomedex and, quite frankly, I’m using [...]
Gnomedex: Yeah, I’m Going Again
After thinking about it a couple days, I decided to give Gnomedex another go this year. So, it is scheduled for August 21-23rd in Seattle. I think I might check into getting a room right there at Bay Harbour. Last year, I stayed inland from the conference. It was about a 20 minute walk. No [...]
Open Suggestion to Chris Pirillo on Gnomedex 8.0
It looks like Chris Pirillo is starting to organize Gnomedex 8.0 in Seattle in August this year. I got an email from him yesterday where he is giving people who have attended in the past the chance to sign up early.
But, the question I have is this: should I even go?
I went to Gnomedex last [...]
Battle of the Bloggers, Childish as Hell
One of the talks given at Gnomedex was that of Jason Calacanis. He came to talk about the pollution on the internet, i.e. spam. All of us know about this stuff. It includes email spam and, more pertinent to Jason’s point, search engine spam. His point? That so many businesses are out there practicing SEO [...]
Gnomedex 2007: Was It Worth It?
I have been back from Gnomedex in Seattle for a couple days now. Getting back to the normal schedule and playing a little catch-up. I still have a lot of stuff to go over, but I thought I would provide a little analysis of Gnomedex. Call it my little bit of feedback [...]
The Art of Evangelism - Guy Kawasaki at Gnomedex
Guy Kawasaki is the original tech evangelist online. He came to Gnomedex and did a great talk. Guy is a fantastic speaker. He knows what he’s talking about, and he communicates in a clear and humorous way. He had the crowd in stitches several times. The topic of his talk? The [...]
Robert Steele – Open Source Answer to Everything?
Robert Steele was the keynote speech to kick off the first day of Gnomedex. He made a very interesting speech, although it was a lot more political than I was expecting. Essentially, he is a big believer in open everything, and he addressed a lot of our political problems to make [...]
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 [...]
In Seattle for Gnomedex and a Little Tired
Just a quickie post. I have arrived in Seattle and I am in my room at the Grand Hyatt paying $9.99 for 24/hours of internet access. Yeah, they kinda rape you on the net access. I don’t know why people can’t just give free wi-fi. Even sitting at Atlanta airport today….tried to check my email, [...]
