In 2007 I attended my second WWDC, Apple’s big developer conference. Also the last time I attended the conference itself, instead of just being in the area. #ThrowbackThursday

Now that I’ve competed my year-long 52-years-in-52-weeks celebration, it’s back to regular throwback posts. Let’s see, I was up to around 2006. That year was my first time at Apple’s big developer conference. #ThrowbackThursday
Finishing WWDC week, a few more pictures from my first WWDC in 2006.
When I attended my first WWDC in 2006, they bussed everyone to the Infinite Loop Apple campus for the WWDC Bash. But I spent 2 hours standing in a line to get into the Apple company store to buy merch, so the bash was over by the time I got in. Oh well. #ThrowbackThursday
The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question, as correctly identified by @DazeEnd: it’s the laptop bag that Apple gave out at WWDC in 2007.
Another picture from WWDC in 2006; looking down at people at charging station tables. Mac laptop batteries didn’t last all that long back then.
A fuzzy picture of a boxed lunch at WWDC06.
As we look forward to a virtual WWDC21 kicking off today, a look back at my first WWDC, in 2006. Back before the iPhone, when it was an uncrowded conference for Mac developers, and the big news was Mac OS X Leopard and finishing transitioning from PowerPC to Intel chips.
I just canceled my hotel reservation for San Jose for WWDC week. Another sad cancelation, not getting to do the usual meetups and podcast live shows of that week. But at least Apple has announced an online-only WWDC this year.
Congratulations to Stephen and Myke of Relay FM on their five year anniversary! My favo(u)rite podcast network; I listen to numerous of their shows, and am a member (highly recommended, if only for all the bonus content).
