My boss Ofer and I have made our way to Seattle for Gnomedex 6.0. I’m really looking forward to an unconference couple of days since Chris Pirillo and Ponzi have developed a reputation for putting together a very different kind of tech event–this year even has a theme song from Derek Miller. Plus cool parties are on for Friday and Saturday nights, making me wish I’d thought more carefully before booking a return flight right after the event ends Saturday.
John Edwards, Kerry’s running mate, is giving the keynote but promises to speak about the political implications and uses of technology rather than a standard stump speech. Also sure to be interesting are Amazon’s Werner Vogels, Susan Mernitt, Pud “Fucked Company” Kaplan, Chris Messina, Blake Ross of Mozilla, the lively and helpful Jeremy Zawodny and Halley Suitt.
Mr. Scoble will be making his first post-Microsoft appearance–dude, Half Moon Bay is beautiful but I sure hope you enjoy slow driving over long, twisty, one lane mountain roads. Scott Beale is also up from the Bay Area so we’re sure to get tons of good photos.
Of course I miss my sweetie.
