MacGathering

Friday and Saturday were MacGathering days. Deborah Shadovitz, of Mac writing fame (all sorts of Mac magazines, the Adobe GoLive Bible, etc., etc.), has been a friend since we met long ago in the late lamented L.A. Macintosh Group. The LAMG's MacFair was legendary. And Deb has for the last three years been trying to create anew a Southern California Mac gathering with that spirit and energy. This year was year three.

Friday I showed up at 7:45 am to help with setup, registration, and "room guarding" [two sessions taught by the talented Michael Pliskin]. The evening saw a reception and keynote address, given by Jeff Levy, the KNX radio computer guy, who has finally embraced Macintosh computers.

Saturday I was a bit more selfish, attending audio and podcasting seminars (my weakest area on the Mac, outside of straight programming). VERY VERY VERY VERY cool. The lineup of podcasters was impressive, knowledgeable, fun!
