In just over a week I’ll be heading out to the City by the Bay for Macworld. I’ll be speaking on Friday and spending the rest of the week soaking in the Apple goodness.
The Mac Observer, a client and a friend, is once again providing the best coverage and in honor of their seventh year of providing live coverage of the SteveNote, they are running a special article on just how they manage to pull it all off.
Here’s how their very first Macworld in 1999 went:
While watching the keynote, I wrote everything into a note on my Palm using the stylus and Palm’s Graffiti implementation. Then, when there was a lull in the action, I would beam that note to John. As soon as I did that, I was free to resume note-taking. Once John got the note, he would copy and paste the text and send it off in an e-mail to Bryan Chaffin at TMO’s main office in Austin. When Bryan received the e-mail, he would take it and post it to a document on the site that our readers were continually reloading in their browsers. Though difficult to pull-off, it worked, and we managed to put something on the site that our readers found compelling. The response was so positive, in fact, that we decided to do it again the following Macworld.
The complete article is here. It’s a great read. And of course, for the best coverage of the Keynote, you can always depend on TMO.
