Buzz AndersenWhat with the Keynote review I completely forgot to mention Buzz Andersen's annual WWDC party last night. Buzz described it as a last-minute effort but that only goes to show he knows how to get things together quickly. As with the SFMacIndie event this was at 111 Minna Gallery. A grand time seemed to be had by all.
Some of us showed up way too early but for some reason time confusion was the order of the day. Apple's published schedules directly contradicted each other, leading to people leaving one session early to make a different one that they didn't know wasn't starting yet.
Tacos SantanaFood was provided by Tacos Santana, and paid for by the party sponsors. How cool is that?
Today I went to the session on developing web sites for the iPhone. But of course I can't really talk about that here.
Speaking of food, the follies continue. Today I wanted to find a decent Mexican restaurant nearby, and after some searching decided on La Laguna Taqueria (formerly El Balazo). Several of us went over. I should have taken the formerly part of that as a hint, because as of today at least it's formerly La Laguna, and now a boarded up empty building. Between this and last year's failed trip to Zeitgeist I think my WWDC restaurant-picking privileges may have been revoked. Fortunately Mel's Drive-In is also nearby so we had burgers instead.
So anyway, if you happen to know a decent Mexican restaurant near the Moscone center in San Francisco, and if you're reading this on or before June 15 2007, leave a comment or send me an email about it, OK? I do know about Maya but something a little less expensive would be nice.
Stump the Experts hat 2005This afternoon, more technical sessions, the Apple Design Awards, and Stump the Experts. STUMP THE EXPERTS! I've won hats and assorted other prizes there three years in a row now, owing not so much to my mastery of Mac trivia as to what Jon Wight calls my rainman-like memory for music (at least the kind that Fred Huxham plays). Stay tuned and see if I continue my streak.
