OOW 2010: Sunday Keynote

What follows are my notes from the event. I had no connection so I opened GEdit and wrote a bunch of stuff down.

Editor's Note:
Arrived about 5 minutes before the keynote started. Met up with Leighton just outside and we both managed to get pictures in front of the Iron Man suits.

Since I was late (read, not early), I have no wifi and just barely got power, otherwise I'd be writing this entire thing on my phone. I'm just posting my notes as this is actually a tape delay.

Editor's Note:
Rumor had it we would be front row or close to the front row. I know what they say about assuming...We're more than halfway back with not enough chairs for the press, bloggers and analysts. Thankfully Leighton [blog|twitter] and I got power, just no internet. Better planning (I swear I don't develop like I plan trips).

Editor's Note:
Please, make this end. Not personal, I just want to see Iron Man. This HP stuff is really boring. Besides, there are people watching this from the Mason Street tent with beer!

The misery has ended...HP is finally off the stage.

Now we're watching what seems to be the longest intro of all time. America's Cup and Larry's love of the sea....

Bring on Iron Man!



OK, I'm leaving...I'll have to watch the replay. I got a (booze) cruise to attend.
