It’s a Mac Mac World @ Open Web Vancouver

Apr 15, 2008 in General Discussions

I just got home from Open Web Vancouver 2008 and I must say that MacBook Pro’s definitely reigned supreme amongst all presenters.

The crowd was slightly more diverse but still plenty of MBPs and even a handful of MacBook Airs.

Keynotes by Zak Greant and Tim Bray were very well received and very much inspirational in their own ways. Kudos if you can find me.

I’ll blog a bit more about the interesting specifics of the conference in the next day or two. One of the big takeaways for me surrounded microformats and the emergence of a more semantic web (or at least a more social web).
