You may recall that Michael Mace gave the closing keynote at the 2005 PalmSource Developers Conference, which drew record numbers for a closing keynote. His presentation was rich with information and insight into what the future may hold for the mobile landscape, which Palm OS has a large vested intrest in. Shortly after the conference, PalmSource had a huge layoff and Mace was one of the casualities. A month or so later and PalmSource was purchased by Access. Suffice to say that it’s been a crazy couple of months since the Dev Con.
Tonight we’ll be catching up with Michael Mace, finding out what a wild ride it’s been since the DevCon, what he’s been up to since then and what he’s working on in the near future. There will be plenty of great conversation, because no one has his pulse on the mobile space like Mace.
I was in Baton Rouge a few months ago and my friends and I were at the City Cafe enjoying dinner and catching up on things. I was elbows deep into a tray of boiled crawfish when I thought of a story that I wanted to share. As a lead in, I said, “You know that radio show I’m doing…” I wasn’t even looking up when said it. My focus was on the tails in front of me, but instead of “Uh huhs and “Yeahs”, there was complete silence. Looking up from my platter, I was met with nothing but puzzled and confused faces. Duffy was the first to respond by saying, “Um… no? WHAT radio show?” Now I was the one that was confused.
“I told you guys about this didn’t I?”, I said in a somewhat pleading manner. I mean these were some of my closest friends and I would have shared something like this with them right? In a half-laugh, Ken Harelson said, “No, I think I would have remembered that!” No one was mad or anything, but it made me feel a little bit silly. You’d think I’d share something like this with my friends. I searched this weblog and I did find that I made a small mention of it here and here, but I’ve never really shared the whole story, so here it is.
