First sightings

January 24 2004

I came out of hibernation following lunch and made the rounds for a couple of hours.  Viel danke to vowe & Ute for doing some adventurous grocery shopping for me...the week will be much easier for this.  I also spotted bloggers Bruce Elgort, Julian R of NSFTools, blog reader Rob McDonough, heard from Mr. IDoNotes, who just missed me at Tubbi's, saw a bunch of the German contingent (Dr. Nastansky, Daniel Nashed, Marco Foellmer, Ingo Erdmann), and of course a number of Loti.  It feels good to be in the zone, but I also welcomed the last hour in which I spent sitting on a bench along the Yacht&Beach boardwalk.... the last few moments of peace before the storm begins.
Looking for a way to reach me this week?  Well, vowe has a Lotusphere wiki going on, but I'm not about to publish my room number, sorry.  However, during the business hours part of the show, find anyone with a radio, and they can reach me.  That will be faster and easier than cell phones, e-mail, or anything else.

    When I arrived Friday there were almost no signs (literally and physically) of Lotusphere.

    The Dolphin rotunda was empty (of course), nothing was crowded.

    I have to believe that without conventions the Swan and Dolphin would never be full.

    I pity the people at bluezoo, which seems like Disney trying to do South Beach cool. Whatever sophistication will go right out the door once we storm the place.
