In the next two weeks, I get to be at two very different conferences inRESONANCE University and Google I/O.
At #irU, I will be building my FileMaker skills, and at #io2011, I will be building my Google Web Toolkit (GWT) skills (among other things).

I’ve been home for a week now. I’m recovered from the jet lag and I’ve begun to catch up on work. It’s taken that time for me to gain a bit of perspective on everything that happened at I/O this year.
I received 2 Android phones. The first was a Motorola Droid (about a month before the conferenc...
Day One of Google I/O was fantastic! With 5000 people there, attendance was an order of magnitude larger than yesterday’s BootCamp. The sessions were packed with useful information.
