Diane and I just got home from a really nice mixed vaca/wrok trip to Norway. It was really great gettign away and exploring Oslo. We saw soem great scenery, met some wonderful people and ate some strange and good food. It’s so nice travlign with Diane.. it makes it so much more fun to travel.
Fight hoem today was long.. about 17 hours.. and beleive it or not..t hat was not enough time to catch up from two days of being about 80% off email .. yikes.
Last day in Norqway. I did a keynote at a very interestign Client Connect event here in Oslo. Moood and conetnet were very. very good !. I really enjoyed talking to all the clients and the other ibmers.. we had over 800 folks !
it began with my new friend THomas reading ‘the hungry,hungry cattepiller’ using teh Watson driven Campfire app. it was SO cool !
my keynote was on a hybred of reinvention, play and iot.. i had to rewrite it all last night at the request of the organizers.. who suddenly wanted soemthing more ‘playfull’.. it went very well
the rest of the day was cool conversations with clients and journalists
I finally got to meet my email friend Asu
and her creation Oluv
the other keynote was colorblind Neil H.. who has an antennae screwed into his head that allows him to ‘hear’ colors.
he was quite interesting.. hard to describe.. .. maybe best seen here
i love the idea of extending our senses like this.. .. kinda unorthodox.. but so cool !
then.. diane and I went out for sushi… for the third time during this visit.. and it was superb.. thats important because the time we went to eat sushi in Stavanger in 1985 we both got soem sort of neurotoxin.. it made our jaws and chests tight.. we throught we were goners.. but it was still delicious.
i’d say sushi was a success this time !
ok.. early flight.. and interesting movie.. gotta go
