(subject says enough) :-)

This will be my 4th, or so, and my last as manager of “Arizona Flash Platform Users Group”:http://www.gotoandstop.org. Nothing much to say here. Just looking forward to geeking out this year.

MAX 2007 Keynote: HERE WE GO!

John C. Bland II

Alrighty….it is keynote time!! I’m sitting in the third row and am loving the vibe. I have some video of the room and opening preso (nice animation showing different apps, etc). This is a nice setup for sure.

**Quick Review of Yesterday**
I TA’d the _Adobe Flex and ColdFusion_ then went to the welcome reception (videos of “Robert Hoekman, JR”:http://www.rhjr.net and “Phillip Kerman”:http://www.phillipkerman.com coming soon). “Michael Hagel”:http://www.michaelhagel.com (who I’m also rooming with) and “Alan Rother”:http://alan.rotherfamily.net talked geek with me for a while as we mingled with a few other folks. The next thing on the list was the community dinner which was GREAT! “Tom Jordahl”:http://tjordahl.blogspot.com/ was at our table so we had some good CF talk going. The filet mignon was GREAT and the potatoes were AMAZING! Great dinner!

Well, I could go on but they are ramping up to get started so…new blog post coming in a sec!

MAX…here I come!

John C. Bland II

I’m at the airport squeaking out this post before group A finishes and group B (my group) starts loading. :-) I wanted to get here earlier and write this eloquent post about how my life is about to transcend…{insert scratched record noise}…WHATEVER…I’M GOING TO CHICAGO! :-D lol

See you there! Keep an eye out for a lot of posts this week. I blog a lot when I’m at conferences and they usually include “WOW…THIS IS SWEET!” type posts. I’ll try to keep’em a bit to the point this time around. ;-)

Uh oh…group A is moving fast…gotta run! {insert Speedy Gonzalez running noise} lol
