Hey, another Jeff here… look forward to meeting you, Daniel. Going to WWDC for the first time, which is really sad considering I lived in the Bay Area for seven years, but in my defense I had young kids and was working at a non-Apple-friendly software company the entire time.

And, yes, Daniel is right about bringing a coat. Look up the Mark Twain quote about San Francisco if you don’t believe.

Oh, and regarding clothing, it gets cold inside the Moscone Center too, independent of the weather outside. One day last year I left my jacket at my hotel and was so frozen I bought an Apple fleece jacket during lunch break.

Argh, this is *exactly* the kind of event that makes me wish I could go this year.

2009, for sure.

I haven’t played with the personalized calendars yet. I imagine it will switch to the right time zone as long as you change the time zone on your Mac.

The biggest mistake people make visiting SF is to only pack a light jacket. You might end up wanting/needing a sweater under that, as well.

Hey Daniel,
Speaking of schedules and times, I subscribed to a personalized calendar of the coming week, but the times are all in PST. As my computer is set to EST, the schedule is off. Will this change when I arrive in SF, or is there something I can adjust so I can actually see what I am headed for?
I listened to your podcast this morning. I enjoyed it, and it is getting me even more pumped for my first WWDC.
Can the weather really be in the 60’s? In New York, we are fighting 90’s. Am I really going to be going back to pants and light jackets?
