I've been traveling for the past few weeks. It's been fun and tiring and I'm glad to be home. Two weeks ago I was in San Francisco for WWDC, where I spoke in a session that went very, very well. Got to see the keynote in person for the first time (nerd!) and hung out with lots of awesome people. Brian and I spent nearly every night that week with Sean Madden, Cindy Li and Mark Trammell and had a blast. I spent far more time at bars than I did in sessions, although everything I saw regarding Leopard was pretty neat. Not thrilled with the transparent menu bar, but someone has already written an app to get rid of it.

Last week I was in Seattle, working and hanging out with the rest of Blue Flavor. I hadn't seen everyone since SXSW in March, so it was nice to the in the office for nearly a full week and to welcome Jeff to the family. On Friday night, we threw the AEA Seattle closing party and played some Guitar Hero II on the big screen. Loads of fun. I also got to hang out with my friend Erin a few times which was great.

It was a nice two weeks, but it's good to be home. Back to work, back to pining constantly for the iPhone. I'll be in Atlantic City this Friday and I'm hoping that Apple Store isn't too crowded. Until then I'll be catching up on email, working on the podcast name change-over, and trying to reset my body's internal clock for EDT.
