Covering keynotes is a blast

Everytime I cover a big Apple event, it’s great times. I wish I could do it every week. It’s one of the most intense 3 hours a single person can spend on a laptop. Not only was I typing nearly the entire time, I was getting IMs all over the place and checking the server load to make sure it wouldn’t start smoking. Fun times. Even the Register liked it :).

Of course we weren’t the only one covering the show, but I think ours was some of the best. Not only did we have up to the minute (and I mean it!) posts, we had pictures and a nifty highlights column that was handy for people joining in the middle. On top of all that, we had several AIM chat rooms bumping.
