MDC was absolutely amazing. It was my first chance to be the "anchor" of a keynote, and I think it went pretty well. Happily, the planned theme of the keynote was to educate the idiot, and since I didn't know anything about the mobile space beforehand, it worked well! :)

Seth, Ori, And Kevin Collins did an amazing job.

I can't wait to see what the audience thought about the presentation. I'm sure some thought the whole "I don't know what I'm doing" thing was a put on. I can tell you, it wasn't.

The funniest thing (for me) had to be when I asked Ori if I should ask MapPoint for coordinates on the Moon or in North America. During rehersals he kept stressing how fragile everything was and that I shouldn't try things out on stage. I had selected the moon previously (during other dry runs) but I'm pretty sure that he wanted to go with the "safe" answer of North America. I love being contrary ;-)

Anyway, I really want to thank the entire mobile team (from VS, MDD, SQL CE, to CF) for the chance to do the presentation. It was so much fun, I really learned a lot, and it helped me to really get clear in my mind what I deeply care about (smart clients, regardless of size <G>).
