I’m thrilled to get ready to share another great WWDC!
I know not everyone can make it to Cupertino. If you’re hosting a watch party, I’d love to hear about it!

I was impressed with Rep. Liccardo’s performance at the town hall. Lots of pointed questions, entirely from the left, which he listened to and answered thoughtfully. There was seating for 700, and dozens of people were standing or sitting on the gym floor.

A few hundred people in line for Rep. Liccardo’s town hall. I’m probably in the front quarter of the line.

Waiting to depart Denver in a snowstorm. They’re de-icing the plane for the second time. Pilot says they’ll also need to do a manual inspection of the wings immediately before our take-off run. Exciting?
