C4[3] Finished Up

It's a strange mix of being the best kept secret and the most difficult to get into events, but the Chicago-based C4 Apple-centric developer conference just wrapped up today. I was lucky enough to attend, and lucky enough to be around the breed of people that take the time to put together and themselves attend a meet up like this. I'll be writing up an article for MacTech Magazine about the event, but huge thanks need to go to Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch (http://rentzsch.com/) for having the vision and passion to put everything together.

The talks were brilliant, many in line with what I already practice or recommend. Others helped germinate my brain cells and help recharge me.

Twitter is the main method of communication during the show, even to the point of having your twitter icon and id put onto your badge. Many people recognized me simply because of my Dark Castle twitter icon. It was fantastic to put faces to names and meet up with people that had previously only been ones and zeros.

Thanks again to everyone who spoke or otherwise helped put together the event.
