Off to Seattle
It's been a manic few weeks recently trying to get the Imagine Cup Workshops going for the finalists in the UK Software Design category. They are up here on the UK Academic Team blog - we're looking forward to hosting these guys and seeing what they can learn over a short sharp 2 day training event. Now, I'm sitting in Starbucks in T4 of Heathrow waiting to board my flight to Seattle for a week of marketing and evangelism content around students and academics.
I'm seeing some friends, doing outdoor-sy stuff while I'm here and staying in the low-light but very trendy W hotel - which inevitably means one thing during the social side of being out here... Mojitos.
All good fun! And I hope to catch up some technology stuff as well - I'm experimenting with Twitter and will be using it to tweet during my trip. I'm using Office Communicator to stay in touch with my girlfriend who works at MS and using video calls to chat back home (also saves on the old mobile bill for work). Will also try and call in to the Apple Store in Bellevue and check out the Macbook Air, although I hear Lenovo are coming out with something similar soon anyways.
