Gnomedex was great. I enjoyed having WiFi access
during the conference despite my
discomfort with
people paying more attention to computers than people at meetings.
Funniest moment: party the second night, good rock band on
stage, geeks sitting around laptops rather
than dancing or grooving.
Having WiFi definitely hampered my attention to the conference. I'd say 2/3 of the time I was on the laptop I was doing something other than Gnomedex. But at least I was there. And the other 1/3 was doing conference-related stuff, particularly kibbitzing on the talk on an IRC channel. That was pretty rewarding.
Update: Buzz
pointed me to a bit from
Clay with an important insight: it doesn't matter whether you like
WiFi as part of the world or not. It's not going to go away.
I am a bit alarmed at how many offhand comments I made on IRC or at the party ended up at blogs attributed to "Nelson from Google". I'm just another person, I like to relax too. Hard to do that when every word may be replayed. (PS: John, I meant it nicely!) Thanks to iSpot
