SF Prep

I’m taking off bright and early Wednesday to go to the Seybold event in San Fran. I’ll spend some time tomorrow at the Pie/Echo/Atom/Whatever Hackathon/Sprint, about which I know basically nothing; on Thursday Seybold is taking a cautious look at Weblogs and RSS, I’ll be spending quite a bit of time at that. Interestingly I’m using Apple’s Keynote PowerPoint-competitor for the first time, it’s pretty nice (except for I can’t drag pictures from my Apple-supplied browser into my Apple-supplied presentation); in particular the positioning control is excellent and things generally just look better, which is saying something considering that I started with an imported PowerPoint template.
