I'm at WIRED NEXTFEST 2004

I'm at WIRED NEXTFEST 2004 in San Francisco demonstrating Motorola's Vision of Seamless mobility - this is the stuff I've been working on at Motorola Labs. Taking a break from the booth right now. I'm in a back room hosting our servers. I'm glad T-Mobile Hotspot is providing free WLAN access to everyone.

Its pretty cool out here - both the demos and the people coming to attend - primarily the early adopter community. Its a great chance for industrial researchers like me to meet the people who buy our products - to get feedback on what we think is the future of communications. We've also got a kiosk out here at the Motorola pavilion where people can see pictures/models of our concept communication devices. People can also enter in their feedback on our ideas in the kiosk. I'm really looking forward to looking at them.

As usual demos and demos, so things do keep going wrong all the time, so my team and I need to be here on call all the time to ensure everything goes as planned. We were also at the opening party last night where we had a lot of the executives from the sponsors - GE CEO & co., Motorola CTO & co. There was also an interesting talk by Jeff from GE last night during the party.

The rest of the demos are pretty cool - esp. this one where you get to control a small ball with your brain waves ! Concept cars, car planes ..... boy, this fest ROCKS !!!!!!!!

Its the first of its kind and WIRED is planning on having one every year... Penning off for now... got to get back to work............
