Unlike many participants at the #EWBC conference I opted not to take my laptop with me – I didn't fancy lugging it about with me all day. Probably if Macintosh had a small, convenient notebook it would be different. Also I prefer to listen to what people are saying and make a few notes. If I had my laptop I'm sure I would have been distracted.

Philippe HugonUnsurprisingly there is a strong presence of Mac users at the conference. Difficult to say whether they are in the majority but certainly a far higher percentage than overall market share.
A topic for next year's conference: new social media and the rise of the new jargon.
Evelyne Resnick There is a wide range of experience here – some very sophisticated bloggers and twatters – others just starting out. But as Doug Cook (ablegrape) emphasised in his presentation and echoed by others – it's the content that counts.
Apart from Doug Cook's session I have found the technical sessions away from the main hall the most useful, although it is now a question having time to explore the array of sites and gadgets mentioned.
Some Campogate (as dubbed by Justin Roberts) ripples around the conference, especially his no show for the Vinoble tasting last night.
Brief thought for the day: will I succumb to twatter?
(Will try to add more when I have time but must rush back to the VIP hotel for Charles Metcalfe's tasting.)
