This will be my last WWDC post as we’re leaving tomorrow morning to fly back across the country. It’s been a great week. The place we stayed was totally awesome, the events and sessions were (for the most part) great, and we ate too much good food.
Today, we had sessions as usual. I learned a few really great things that I want to go back and implement right away. Then, at the very end of the day, we sat around the Interface Design Lab and managed to catch a few minutes with one of Apple’s design experts. Can I just say the next version of Safe Eyes is really gonna ROCK! That may have been the best and most worthwhile 30 minutes of the entire week. The best part was that while he was giving us some general ideas and guidance, I really put into exact words what turned out to be a really well-received concept. Time to throw a few ideas on paper and maybe mock up a prototype using my new-found skillz with Interface Builder. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but we have to have some surprises!
Tonight was the WWDC Bash at Yerba Buena Gardens. Apple brought in Barenaked Ladies to play and I actually kinda like them. We stood around for a little while and had some of the finger foods and cookies they had, but it was like 20 degrees out and windy, so eventually we had to leave to go defrost. Apparently, this is the weather in San Francisco–85 during the day, 45 at night.
I’m looking forward to getting home. Hopefully, we’ll be able to come back out here for WWDC ’09. We’ll see…
