I Got My Badge!

Okay, time to shift gears and get into Macworld-mode. I walked down a couple blocks to Moscone West (which was very easy to find), and got to see the building in person for the first time. It was really cool seeing the building I’ve only seen in pictures so far.

Picking up my conference pass for Macworld was a relatively simple process.

I got a bunch of other things to go along with my badge. They gave me a black and blue bag, a 1 GB jump drive, and a notebook and pen. All of these had the Macworld logo on them.

Microsoft also gave out these little M&M bags, customized for Microsoft Office 2008. Each M&M color represents a different Office application, and they had the logo for that application printed on it accordingly.

Of course, the most important is still the badge itself.

I figured, while I was there, I might as well visit my first Apple Retail Store. I visited their flagship San Francisco store, which is only a couple blocks away from Moscone West. It looked very luxurious, as I expected.

There isn’t really much to say about the store, but it was very busy with Apple fans because of the expo.
