Macworld Expo is only weeks away, and as always, I’ll be there. The event is filled with a week’s worth of vendor meetings, interesting conference sessions, awesome parties, and is an annual reunion with cool people that I may not see again for another year. Did I mention that I’m speaking at this year’s conference, too?
I record the We Have Communicators podcast pretty much every week with Michael Johnston and Adam Christianson, and it’s no secret that I tend to draw on my iPad during the show. Those drawings end up in the podcast show notes, and somehow the whole deal evolved into me agreeing to put our faces on a mug. I’m pretty sure it’s all Michael’s fault.
Social networking services like Facebook and Twitter seem to be overloaded with self-centered, acidic, bitchy and down-right mean people. But they’re also full of really great people, and sometimes they prove that in spades by offering to help someone they really don’t know with absolutely no expectation of anything in return. My office manager, Nightshade the Cat, got to experience that kindness first hand just recently and even though she can’t express her appreciation, I can.
It turns out I’m easily distracted, and when I get distracted I tend to draw. Or sometimes I draw to share an idea, make a point, or communicate because words are big and scary. And I share my drawings online.
I’ll be hanging out with the cool members of the Denver Apple Pi Mac user group on Tuesday, May 17. Why, you might ask? To talk about the iPad, show off a few of my favorite iPad apps, and share a few tips and tricks, too.
