A geeky week for me: Iphone 2.0, meeting Scoble, Thingamajiggr, & BarcampSeattle

June 11th, 2008 ·

It’s looking like a geeky week. First I watch the iphone 2.0 drama unfold (not much drama, more let down really…gotta wait 3 weeks for the really good stuff.)

Then last night (Tuesday) for ‘Tertullia’ (a Seattle guy’s group I’ve been a part of for a couple years now) Buzz brought in Scoble for ‘the Scoble show’. Here’s a Qik video that Robert took during that evening, I’m in a blue shirt and ask a question about Qik.

Though most of the content of the evening was a rehash of things I was already aware of, it was good to see how the rest of the group reacted to Scoble’s view on the meaning of the media shift. It was also great to meet him face to face and see that he really does seem to be a nice guy who is having genuine fun following his geeky passion.Though I’d love to hear more details about where he thinks technology should have its limits, I got him to twitter back to me the day before an answer to my tweet “@scobleizer I’m curious. Seems like you are constantly wired. Do you have any personal/family boundaries for unplugging? What are they?” To which he answered:

Then for this weekend, I’m hoping to make it to thingamajiggr (part of Ignite Seattle) for some good innovative geeky fun. Finally, I’ll be attending the first Barcamp Seattle for more geeking out loud. Below is my pathable profile for the event (Pathable is a cool Seattle company that connects people using metadata, then provides physical name tags with valuable info for the live event.)

Then its a father’s day at the in-laws for a ‘tech-sabbath’ rest ;)
