Factor 50 sun block
Whilst out at Tesco this morning, getting some fresh pineapple for breakfast, I also picked up some Factor 50 sun block to use when in San Francisco for WWDC 09 in early June. I’ve been sun burnt twice in California. Once quite badly on the forehead in San Diego, and then on the arms and neck in San Francisco. Not this year 🙂
Moleskine notebooks
I decided that I needed a small notebook to jot things down in when they occured to me. Things like story ideas, song snippets, general notes; anything really. So I ordered a Moleskine Pocket Plain Notebook after seeing Simon Wolf with one at WWDC. It’s perfect. Fits in the pocket, has a sleeve at the back to store a few items, has a ribbon bookmark and an integrated elastic to hold it closed. Cool. I also ordered a Moleskine Large Plain Notebook for more copious writing and note taking. I liked them so much I’ve just ordered a Moleskine San Francisco City Notebook for use on WWDC and Macworld trips. The city notebook has a map, which gives an overview of the city, along with 36 pages of zone maps, which provide large scale maps of the city centre. A 96 page tab separated personal section allows you to keep hotels, shops, addresses, places of interest and facilities organised. A further 76 blank pages let you jot down thoughts, stories and memories of trips. Excellent. Basically the city notebooks let you build up your own guidebook for cities you visit regularly.
There are editions of the city notebooks for about 20 major cities so far. See the full list at the Moleskine site.
Northern Ireland Cocoa Developers
Some of us from Northern Ireland, who were at WWDC, are thinking of setting up a local Cocoa developers group to met and discuss development and technologies related to the Mac OS X and iPhone/iPod touch platform. It is envisioned that there will be periodic meetings, a mailing list, a web page, possibly guest speakers, etc. All this is still to be determined. The following 5 domains have been registered for the group to use:
nicocoadev (.org, .net, .com, .co.uk)
nicod.org
If you would be interested in participating in the group then email me using the contact link in the sidebar on the right of this page.
Feel free to pass this information on to anyone else who you think might be interested.
WWDC is nigh
I fly out to SF on Friday for WWDC next week. Schedule is done. Mostly Macs in IT with a smattering of Cocoa and iPhone sessions to break them up. Plus some extracurricular activities. See iCal screen grab below.
