I have not been to many events in the last month, been REALLY busy. So much so, I would not even bother writing this post. However, after seeing the google IO party, I have to make an exception. I still am busy though, so this will be short and choppy. Please note all images were taking with my iphone. I may post the iphone videos up later. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

First off, Google’s design for the event was binary code for GOOGLEIO. Instead its GOOGLEKO. Heh. Keeping that. \ud83d\ude42 More on this error here..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event itself was typical enough with exception to the public spaces…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pool tables?? Bean Bags?? Well, ok, I can understand, its google. They seemed to have spent more time on the entertainment then the booths themselves. I sat down, opened my laptop and did some work. I was getting ready to go home and there was an announcement that there would be some food and drinks. My thought, ‘oh, some tray treats and perhaps a few things on sticks, and for drinks, perhaps wine and beer. I walk onto the second floor conference space and wow! its like bubble 1.0 again!<\/p>\n

Arcade games. 4 groups of them<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More pool, and air hocky, and tablefootball.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

wii. Yes wii!!. I just bought one myself. Using it to get a bit of exercise. The boxing can get the same heart rate elevation as a brisk walk. Not bad. Waiting on the ‘fit’ exercise pad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Food.. No, not just something on a stick, but pretty good stuff..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

..and I spent some time here. Great display!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and of course the ‘almost’ empty dance floor. I almost got a video of the guy break dancing, but switching the iphone from camera to video is not the smoothest thing in the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now the only thing that was not 1.0 about this event was the swag.. Legos and Rubic Cubes?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All and all. Pretty cool. I did not stay long because I had things to do, but for those of you who were not around during bubble 1.0 , this would be a weekly event. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As for swag, well, I still have not seen anything like the pingpongball gun I got back in the day..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All the images are still in the raw iphone format. I may clean them up ( and make them smaller) at some point. But I doubt it.<\/p>\n

Ok, back to work. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
