BMW and Apple have partnered so that you may "iPod Your BMW" (see http://www.ipodyourbmw.com/). Full pages ads in USA Today and elsewhere are heralding this marriage as "total driving control meets total tune control", and lots of folks are mega-excited over it. I may be missing something here, but...
No tie for me. And no socks. And no tools, either. My kids have been well trained, they gave me Lego (3 planes, the Sopwith Camel, the Red Baron, and the Wright Flyer). Sweet! :-)
I am home, recuperating from week 3 of my Summer 2004 User Group Tour. My last stop this week was Denver, which has always boasted a strong and enthusiastic membership, and this event reflected that. Unfortunately, I once again forgot to take pictures, so if you have any to share please send them...
I am in Houston, Texas, and just finished the third of three presentations here. Monday midday was a lunchtime presentation in Austin, at the Alamo Drafthouse (a rather eccentric feeling cinema / bar). This was my first trip to Austin in almost 5 years, long overdue. And attendance was great,...
Pictures taken at the groups visited during week 2 of the Summer 2004 User Group Tour are now online at http://www.forta.com/about/theroad.cfm. In my rush, I forgot to take any pictures in Chicago, so if you were in attendance and happen to have pics, please send them my way. Thanks!
I spoke to the Chicago ColdFusion User Group Last night. This was a whistle-stop visit, I arrived in Chicago in the afternoon (I was delayed getting out of St. Louis) and left the meeting as I was done to grab a taxi back to the airport. I got to O'Hare in time for my flight which was then...
I just wrapped my third presentation in Missouri in 25 hours. Last night was the Kansas City user group, with over 90 attendees (they've now taken the lead on this tour, which group will challenge them?). This was the most engaged and interactive group yet. I didn't have to prompt for questions...
Last night's presentation to the ColdFusion user group in East Lansing, Michigan, went really well. About 45 attendees (some of whom drove for several hours to join the fun), and the most interactive and engaged crowd yet. The group introduced themselves one by one, and announced how long they had...
Last week went really well, and users thus far have loved what we've been showing them of Blackstone (and tonight I'll be adding content not seen thus far). Pictures from all four of last weeks events are online at http://www.forta.com/about/theroad.cfm (if you took pictures, and care to share...
It looks like my Summer 2004 User Group Tour will be extended by a week with stops in Europe. We're looking at the week of July 12th, with presentations in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and possibly one additional location. I'll post specifics as soon as they are finalized.
