Hello from LIFT

I love European conferences. There’s an interesting energy here. And it’s not just cause Anina is here. 🙂

They are recording the sessions. They’ll be put up on the LIFT blog. The press conference I participated in is up there now. I started my section off by taking two pictures (1, 2) of the press from my point of view and said “blogging lets me turn the tables.”

This is the first LIFT conference and it’s sold out.

Right now I’m listening to Matt Jones, a designer at Nokia and sitting next to Ben Voigt. He just said “Play is taking reality lightly.” Here’s Matt from my perspective.

Hope you’re taking your reality lightly. Me? I’m about to unleash a ton of blogs on you. Are you ready? 🙂

How much of a ton? I just answered 156 emails. Whew. I haven’t been blogging much lately, that’ll change today.

Here’s a photo of the Swiss Alps out the window of the plane I was on as I flew into Geneva.

Real time news?

I’m in a press conference with about 15 journalists for the LIFT conference. It’s 2:30 a.m. my time, so hopefully I sound competent.

Anyway, the news of Google’s financial results and stock market sell off hadn’t gotten to this room until I fired up Memeorandum and showed them what the news was.

Rishi Khaitan says bloggers aren’t fast enough. Funny, but I saw the news hours ago when I was still in the states.

 Anyway, hello from Switzerland.
