Last nights keynote was fantastic… they could not have had two better speakers…
First in the lineup was Avi Bryant, famous in the Smalltalk/Squeak/Seaside world… he’s super smart (from what he was talking about) and it really opened my eyes up, pushing me to go back to Smalltalk. Eugene Wallingford, an old professor of mine, was a HUGE fan of Smalltalk. I’m sure I’ll be playing around with some Squeak images soon. It’s like a future Ruby… a fast VM, commercial tools, and enterprise support.
Second in the lineup was my absolute favorite internet celebrity, ZeFrank. Before the keynote started I had to meet him and thank him for all of his humor on The Show. He talked about accelerating anxiety… and it was focused about content and user generated content. He had lots of insights and lots of content to show from the ORG. I’m suprised that more people did not know who he was, but I’m sure everyone will be going back to his site to check out his content.
Good keynote!
