So, Robert and I came into Orlando within a half hour of each other and shared a shuttle coming in. The Dolphin is the palace I remember from years back. As soon, as we came in we ran into Ted, Peter and Cathi. After getting our speaker shirts, I went to sleep. Getting up at 4 am is not fun so I slept until dinner where we met up with our Microsoft MCS guy and my co-author Jim Lennox who is down here in Orlando for an MCS gig. We had a real expensive but good $300 Italian dinner over at the Swan. On return, hooked up with Richard Hale Shaw, Paul Sheriff, Walt Ritscher. It's always great to see Walt, who I have developed a close friendship with ever since the 1st VSLive in San Fran this year where I said “I will crush you” when we had competing sessions. Of course, Walt is this magnificent, polished, much better than me public speaker that made the joke that much more fun. Ran into Rich Turner as well and we discussed my book as well as his Indigo keynote in the morning. Hint: they may be talking to devices soon! Have my OCC talk tomorrow and then I'm back out on the road Thursday morning.
