Internet Connectivity Issues

So here’s the deal. If I don’t make another post until Friday night (when I get home), it’s because I couldn’t reason with the hotel to let me back on the network. Right now, the only way for me to access the internet is while waiting between conferences. So, if I can’t get back on the internet, how about some of the highlights…

• I saw Steve Wozniak.
• I saw Sinbad (the actor).
• I sneaked into the VIP section at the keynote and sat about 18 rows back.
• I met Steve Jobs. We made eye contact. I got chills.
• I (basically) sat next to Walt Mossberg during the keynote.
• I got to play with a MacBook Air 2 weeks before release.
• I had a rather long conversation with David Pogue.
• I formally thanked Shawn King in person for my Platinum Pass.

I still haven’t had the chance to watch the streaming version of the keynote, but since I was sitting right in the center, you can probably see me holding my camera up for half the keynote.

There’s a lot more, including pictures, and I’ll post those later if I can get back on.
