"I came to the conference and think of words. Words like ..."
-- The pause between "... and think of words." and "Words like ..." was a little too long. It was sort of one of those, 'And your point is ?" type of moments.
"Architecture 2.0" -- And 'Web 2.0' and 'Office 2.0' and 'Voice 2.0'. But hasn't architecture been around long enough to be like 300.0 ?
"I love Data!" -- Who doesn't? He was a great addition to the Star Trek crew.
"... huge data-fest." -- As long as it isn't a sausage-fest.
"Swivel Preview" -- Not an Alpha, not a Beta, but a 'Preview'. I loved that.
"I started thinking about usability." -- I don't know why exactly I wrote this one down, but I just liked it.
"... Desire based thinking ..." -- Most thinking is about some form of desire
"... Psychographics ..." -- Pyschotic demographics?
"It's all experimentation." -- Isn't that true about everything?
"... Merging Research & Design ..." -- Notably different than Research and Development, so R&D becomes R&DD or R&D&D?
"... Scrum Master ..." -- The speaker was talking about 'Scrum' a form of project management, but the name just sounded too funny.
"... Feng shui for your app ..." -- I heard this and thought back to a VP who used to bring in plants to move the energy around, thought about how one would do that in PHP. focus_chi_energy() ?
"... creating more of a closed web ..." -- Seemed sort of an oxymoron type statement. Because the web typically means that it is open. The comment was in related to not being able to do a 'view source' to see how someone did something.
"The power of view source." -- 'View Source' really is powerful, one would also say 'View Source' is a driving force behind 'Open Source'.
"... army of minions ..." -- I love the words 'minions', 'lackeys', 'underlings'.
"Most advanced social platform out there." -- Bold statement by the Facebook guys. But fortune does tend to favor the bold.
"... webscale ..." -- First time I heard this was Jeff Bezos (CEO, Amazon). Another thing that sounded like an oxymoron. Because, isn't everything on the web, webscale? I mean I know he meant 'scaled to be able to handle the web traffic of Amazon, Flickr, etc.
"... programmable warehouse ..." -- This just seemed really cool. The idea of programming a warehouse.
I need to shutdown to conserve power.
Laterz.
(To better reflect my time spent studying Journalism, I will come back and accredit these quotes. I will need to check the schedule for that though and I just wanted to get a quick post up between sessions.)
