Things I learned in New York City

1) The Shake Shack is a good hamburger joint, but the true appeal is sitting in the park, not the food.
2) Dave Winer is a tragic figure out of Shakespeare that would make a great documentary.
3) Dunkin Donuts are just donuts, nothing special.
4) Not having an umbrella with you in Manhattan in October is a bad idea
5) You can take refuge from heavy rain in a Borders, but your wet wool suit will smell bad, making people move away.
6) The movie I watched on the plane, The Namesake, was really good. Now I need to read Gogol’s Overcoat. Rent the DVD if you get the chance.
I was in New York for a few meetings and spoke at HD World.
This is what the audience looked like.


Notice that no one has a laptop, there’s a chance they actually listen to the speakers…

    No laptop? OMG!!! Any chance they might just be technophobes like some of the UK broadcasters?

  2. What makes Dave Winer documentary-worthy? I Googled him and only came up with his many software accomplishments.
