Gnomedex update: Tim O'Reilly just spoke on open source and how the applications of the future are Internet apps, not client software. 100% agreed - online applications keep the latest version and features in the end-users hands while also having a built-in antipiracy method.
Now John C. Dvorak is giving his speech on computing trends. He just had some hilarious remarks on how every restaurant in Des Moines appear to be pizza chains, and I guess he also went to Adventureland today as he loves wooden rollercoasters. Interesting, funny, engaging speaker. |

Up way too late last night...and I wonder if I'll be up even later tonight?
Jim Louderback is talking right now about building a home theater PC. I've thought of doing one for some time but have never gotten around to it. Maybe with one of these mini-shuttle cases... |

Kevin Unangst from Microsoft is now speaking on what MS is doing for media convergence. An interesting point he brought up about MS and DRM (Digital Rights Management) - Microsoft doesn't create the rules when it comes to DRM and the ability to use and share music. Instead, they're putting the *ability* for rules to be assigned by the content owner, who can then decide to make them freely available, burnable to CD, or whatever. It is an interesting point. |

We just had our Gnomedex lunch (provided by the Des Moines Partnership) who talked a little about bible camp and oreos and maybe our fair city as well (I wasn't really listening...you've already got me, Des Moines!) Rex and Steve (and his friend Rick) joined me.
And now Rob Malda - cmdrtaco himself from Slashdot is now speaking, and Microsoft is coming up soon! |
