Who You Calling A Jesse?

Well after last night’s party at the Palms I was shocked that anyone made it to the sneak peak this morning… that is dedication indeed. The highlight of day 3 was the sneak peaks that was nicely live blogged by Jen de Haan. Besides that there were sessions and a lot of smirks and nods as everyone bonded over the Palms. You can see in the MAX 2006 Flickr group that a lot of fun is had at MAX… mixing learning with fun is always a good thing.

I did finally meet Mike Potter who promises that Adobe is going to focus a little more attention to Waterloo. There is a Flex demo on campus next week.

I will need to think a bit more about this years MAX before I write a summary. It was a bit odd for a MAX, Adobe certainly did some things differently (like where is the schwag?)… Overall though I finally got to meet some people that I have missed over the years and putting faces to email is always a good thing. I do think that the stuff we saw this year at MAX will change the web and make a lot of people happy—like how last years progressive downloading in Flash 8 for video enabled Youtube’s much loved simplicity.

An evening of rest and then a day of travel tomorrow. Should have a summary next week sometime ;)
