Gnomedex 4: Friday photos by Joz

Click images to embiggen.


Here’s Anil Dash of Six Apart sitting behind me during one of the panels. I assume he is blogging.


Kathleen using my laptop to blog on at least three different sites.


Marc Brown arrives and sits down next to me. How can I do anything but smile? (Especially because I score Buzznet schwag!)


The Keynote Speaker was Woz (Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, Inc.). Here’s a photo Joz took of Woz. Hee. I wasn’t sitting all that close and wasn’t using a flash, so the photo is all blurry. He told some fun stories about his passions which led to the creation of Apple. And he told stories about some of the pranks he pulled. My kind of story. Other Gnomedexers have some better photos of Woz: Phil, James, Koozie, The NOIZ. The best notes about Woz’s session by Shanti A. Braford


Lunch at the cafe downstairs offered a wide variety of “Oriental Food.”


Two bathroom photos. Why I am ever compelled to take photos in the bathroom, I don’t know. I learned that in casino bathrooms in Tahoe, you can take a ride on the Footsie Wootsie for only 50 cents! (No, I did not try it because I’m not really interested in putting my feet where someone else’s stinky feet have been.) Also above is a blurry self-portrait I took in the restroom. I had a non-blurry photo, but I liked the blurry one better. I’m holding up my Gnomedex badge and also wearing The Jacket.

Except that the spill on my shirt has pretty much dried up…

Here is a photo of me as I am right now, hiding behind the VIA booth with the panel going on in the next room.

Thanks to Phil for the picture. You can clearly see where I spilled on myself already (it’s just water, thankfully). Oh yeah, and you can see the fashion-violation jacket hanging on the back of my chair.

I’m being a little anti-social right now, but hopefully that passes soon because there are a lot of interesting people here I’d like to meet.

Doh!

Battery dying.

Can’t find outlet. Be back later.

Sitting in the room…

…waiting for the Woz panel to start.

Just had lunch. Reuben sandwich, yum.

Chris is up there right now doing an intro, but talking about how Ponzi dresses him. Cute.

Doh! (again)

Things I forgot to bring…

-Camera phone attachment (no, I don’t have an integrated camera phone… the phone and attachment were free.)

-Extra laptop battery.

Doh!

P.S. - Yoshi, I already had TWO people say that my jacket is NOT ugly!

Ok, I lied.

I’m no fashion expert.

And I will report on some of the stuff they’re talking about here.

For instance, they were just talking about suggestions on how to find and download porn.

If that don’t get more folk to Gnomedex, I don’t know what will…

Cool!

Marc Brown just sat down next to me and Kathleen and now we’re sporting Buzznet buttons!

(Note to Gnomdexers: Wearing a buzznet button increases your fashion score by tenfold! Come and say hi to me and you can have one if I have any left and you ask me nicely.)

MORE: I also have a coupon code just for Gnomedexers for a 1 year FREE Premium Photoblog Account.

Yay to Phil Morrisson for coming by and saying hi already!

Marc also showed me a cool new feed for Gnomedexers… a feed for mobile phones! It was cool to see my buzznet photos on his phone!

In Tahoe

Yes, for Gnomedex.

UPDATE: Ok, I’m back. Quick change of location.

I’m not going to be blogging about the panels stuff and the stuff they’re talking about here. There are plenty of other people who will do that.

I’m here to critique fashion.

First violation, ME.

I’m debating whether or not I’ll post a photo of my jacket, but I’m sure someone else here will take a picture and post it, so I might as well beat them to the punch and insult myself before anyone else can.
