---------------------------
in sum:
engaging. challenging. informing. inspiring.
highlights:
flashforward austing was epic. i met some cool people. i learned a bunch. i especially enjoyed brendan dawes presentation, "analog in digital out." i really enjoyed wandering around austin. the conference had a perfect ending - the flight back. hillman curtis and i flew back to sf at the same time - it was excellent having a handful of hours to chat with hillman. he is one cool cat - humble, thoughtful, authentic, deep and inspiring. |
