Remember back in November, Donald Burr came on the show and told us about the wireless microphone setup he got from Audio Technica? It was the Audio-Technica ATR 288W Remote Mic from It sounded pretty cool, so Steve’s mom got one for Steve for Christmas.
This year Steve and I were able to take the interviews we did up a real notch. You can’t use this as an absolute rule though, because my personal favorite vendor, Dexim, had a huge booth! They often had the most interesting things. On the other hand, the tiny little booths, which in some cases were actually four vendors sharing a single 30″ circular table, were absolutely packed all day every day. For example, HP was there with a massive front and center booth with about 20 employees…and no one went into their booth, they just walked around it or through it to get to the other side. Another trick is to not be wowed by the huge booths. I personally found that if you go up and ask the people to explain their products, they’re often enthusiastic and can get you to realize how cool their product actually is. All right, now we’ve got maybe 70% of the show floor left.
Then there was a whole music aisle…you can guess what I did there, right? Well I did go over there because the Berklee School of Music was there and my brother happens to be a professor there (yeah, go figure? he got all the musical talent I’m missing evidently), so I did stop by and say hi to the guys and asked them to say hey to my brother. I thought that was boring so I skipped over all of that. If you wandered up and down the aisles just using your eyes to judge whether something is interesting, what you would have found is that about 20% of the booths had iPhone cases or iPad holders. I’ve heard a few people say that they didn’t find much to see on the show floor, and I think I know why. I was never ever bored trying to figure out what to do next, it was more like I was thinking d’oh! I missed that talk Don did on Screenflow? I’m still mad about that. This was the first year we’ve had passes to the User Conference which was great. One of the tough things about Macworld Expo is that there is so darn much to do! There’s an IT Conference (for those who work in the field of Macintosh) and there’s the User Conference which is more my speed, there’s the Featured Presentations, and then there’s the exhibit hall. As many people have said, it seems to be the people you meet and learn from that make all the difference in the show. Every year the trip has evolved for me, and each year I think I enjoy it more. I’m sure by this time you’ve figured out that Macworld Expo was this week, and Steve and I were able to attend. Today is Sunday January 30th, 2011 and this is show number 297.
