I'm not going to GnomedexI'm not going to GnomedexI'm not going to Gnomedex 04/13/2005 05:42 AM I have changed my mind and made a decision not to go to Gnomedex and their are several reasons why that will become apparent in the next month. I had planned on going, but Corante asked first and I am a dad with kids living in Hawaii and peak travel season starts May 30th which means airline tickets go through the roof. Plus the event only has 300 particpants (important ones I know) but I want to focus on events that are Podcast specific and the Corante event and Podcast Expo are defnitley dedicated to Podcasting.

Pictures taken on the Seattle waterfront, where the Gnomedex will be held in late June this year. A place to comment, let's start the discussion now.

I had heard once that their is a great steak place downtown also that is not to be missed. I would not mind doing dinner Saturday night but will leave my plans flexible. Their is a WiKi for Gnomedex. Gnomedex 5.0 Looks GreatGnomedex 5.0 Looks Great 06/05/2005 11:08 PM Wow - has anyone else been watching the list of attendees at this year's Gnomedex? It's like a "who's who" of the blogging world. Here are just a few of the people who are planning to be there:
Gnomedex is at the top of my list of favorite conferences, not just because of the people attending, but because I always learn something new there. For example, last year's Gnomedex is where I learned about podcasting, which resulted in me adding podcast downloading and synching to FeedDemon. And it looks like there will be a lot of RSS aggregator developers there, too - including Brent Simmons (NetNewsWire), Greg Reinacker (NewsGator), Mark Fletcher (Bloglines), Tim Catlin (Rojo), J.J. Allaire (Onfolio) and (of course) myself (FeedDemon). If you're thinking of attending, you might want to register now - I wouldn't be surprised if this fills up soon. Gnomedex 2005Gnomedex 2005 06/24/2005 03:00 PM So now I'm up in Seattle for Gnomedex. I missed it last year - as that wa sthe wekend of my father's funeral. So I WASN'T gonna miss out this year - especially since BOTH my old friends Dave Winer and Adam Curry are the book-ends keynotes. I get to sit in the audience and heckle - while my ourmedia.org partner JD raps it out. We'll be showing interstitials between sessions all conference. Meanwhile it's quite a scene. The fire dept was called for some errant smoke detector last night at the opening party and Denise Howell convinced me that motherhood is a saintly experience that every woman shoudl experience. She's glowing. Got to hang with Mr. Weatherbug Chris Sloop last night for dinner - along with Steve Gillmor, Steve Rubel, Dan Farber and JD. Maybe now I can understand what Attention.xml is all about. I hope Steve uses the 'annotating a podcast' example. Here's Dave and Matt Mullenweg:
Still Bushed from the Last GnomedexStill Bushed from the Last Gnomedex 03/19/2005 03:11 AM 
The recent announcement of Gnomedex 5.0 reminded me of a funny story from last year's Gnomedex. See, I was planning to give away FeedDemon and TopStyle T-shirts at the event, but I was having problems with a local T-shirt printing company. To make sure I'd have them in time, I ended up buying a bunch of shirts through my CafePress store instead. A couple of days later a box from CafePress arrived, and I figured I'd better check the shirts just in case there were any problems. So I opened the box and found... ...a few dozen anti-Bush T-shirts. No FeedDemon shirts. No TopStyle shirts. Just a whole bunch of shirts spouting anti-Bush slogans. Now, despite the fact that the anti-Bush shirts were worded more colorfully than mine, I was still really disappointed. To their credit, CafePress sorted out the problem very quickly, but unfortunately not quick enough - I ended up getting on the plane without the shirts, and upon calling my wife when I landed I discovered that FedEx delivered the correct shirts about an hour after I left (arghhh!).

So my heart goes out to my brothers - Chris, Robert, Ross, Woz and all the other homeboys and girls doing the slopes, getting slippery and Rye or is that Bacardi and Absolut? Speaking at GnomedexSpeaking at Gnomedex 06/23/2004 09:22 AM When I attended Gnomedex last year, I have to confess that I went with muted expectations. As it turned out, though, I had a great time, and rank it among the best conferences I've visited. This year, not only am I attending the conference but I'm scheduled to speak on one of the panels. Along with blogging gurus Robert Scoble, Henry Copeland and Ross Rader, I'll be discussing how to maximize your blogging strategies. I'm glad I have a couple of months to figure out what to say, because I'm not an experienced public speaker :) Among the other confirmed speakers are Steve Wozniak, Wil Wheaton and Dan Gillmor. The conference isn't until September 30 so I'll talk more about it closer to the time, but if you want to attend I recommend registering now. Unlike last year's Iowa-based Gnomedex, this year it's being held in Lake Tahoe - so I expect even more people to be there.

Gnomedex: The SummaryGnomedex: The Summary 10/28/2003 11:08 PM Gnomedex: The SummaryHow do you describe a conference, Gnomedex, where you get to meet and hang out with:
Over the next few days I'll blog more about the conference including slides I thought were relevant. The overall impression I got from the conference was simple -- it rocked. Chris managed to make a technical conference **fun**. How often do you see that? And I have to admit that I was purely in awe of watching Chris' people skills. For me the most interesting part of the conference was probably just watching Chris interact with people. He's a natural -- its so clear why people pretty much love him. So if you missed Gnomedex then all I have to say is you should make it next year. The event was outstanding. Thanks Chris. Gnomedex 4 BlogrollGnomedex 4 Blogroll 04/17/2004 08:42 PM Per my entry here, we officially have a blogroll for attendees. For those of you wondering who's presenting and who's sponsoring... those details should be available extremely soon. Believe me, I know that's very important information - but it certainly hasn't stopped a few folks from pre-registering:...

Gnomdex gnomedex.com Meet the Aggregators at GnomedexMeet the Aggregators at Gnomedex 06/24/2005 03:36 PM A while back I was talking with Chris Pirillo and Dave Winer about interesting things to do at Gnomedex this year, and we figured that since so many aggre gator developers will be there, we should all get together for some sort of informal luncheon where people who use our software could ask us questions and make suggestions. The idea went over well with several aggregator developers we spoke with, so it's official - according to the schedule, it's happening at noon on Saturday. As of right now, developers working on NetNewsWire, RSS Bandit, Rojo, Bloglines, Pluck and (of course) FeedDemon will be there, and the invitation is open to other aggregator developers. I'll be leaving at the crack of dawn Thursday morning to fly to Seattle for the conference, and it looks like it's going to be quite an event - according to numerous sources, there will be some interest ing announcements made there.

I am super bummed I had to cancel from
Gnomedex - but I gotta head back to Chi-town for a memorial for my
father.
Hey gang - mind if I have a virtual heart-to-heart with
you? As you probably know, life has been very busy for me down here in
Southern California. I’m four years removed from Iowa, and eight
years into producing Lockergnome. We announced our fourth-annual
conference a few months ago, and I’ve watched it blossom into
something completely different than what it was in the beginning. I
hope you don’t mind my decision to bring Gnomedex back to its roots:
the people.
