So today I began to compile a list of conferences that hopefully (if approved) I may be going to. First on the list is the very soon to be Google I/O conference that will be held in San Francisco May 28 and 29th. Although short it, it hopefully will prove to be an excellent learning processes and hopefully I don't be jet lagged so much that I will be able to suck up information like the sponge I am

Looking forward to this trip of course conjurers thoughts of how lucky and truly blessed I am. Really I am, I have a beautiful wife and make enough money to be comfortable. Sure I don't have a BMW or a house for that matter, I at least am better off than 99% of the human population and there is something to be said for that I am sure.

So these little perks are great for me, I haven't had anyone before be so interested in my thoughts and expertise as to send me somewhere like Google to learn. I suppose it's an accomplishment? That's possibly debatable Along with this sort of thing I also get to work on cool projects like DNZoom and a few other things I can't mention. However when they launch I will be blasting what happens. Also on my list of things to play with in the iPhone SDK (for some reason Obj-C with Posix support on a mobile platform just really thrills me) and a few other C projects. Remember gang, I'm really a C developer who fell into PHPland ;)

So here I go, I need to work on some articles for CNet before someone decides to put a hit on me!
