 if you don't know, the Mobile Conference is a huge mobile phone trade show held every February in Barcelona. 

In 2006 I was working for a small company hoping to sell their hardware into a mobile phone platorm. We weren't a major player so we weren't with the Nokias in the main hall, but somewhat out of the way up the hill with what might be best described ad "content providers". This means games, service providers (music transfers) and "adult services". 

On the first day as we set up we noticed th stand perpendicular to us was some form of content. We either were too shy or too busy to surf the site. 

However on the penultimate day, the talent arrived. A petite pneumatic Italian American in hipster jeans and a crop top. Ironically in the main stand at the same time, Logica had employed 2 girls to walk around wearing only their logo in black and yellow body paint. 

From where we were we could see and hear her signing autographs for people who clearly knew who she was. 

Then a video cameraman appeared. She launched into a series of heavy pouting routines advertising her wares. 

Suddenly from out of left field comes a man. Running. People looking. She, startled. Bracing. Fanboy runs straight past the talent and says "what sort of camera is that?"

Sometimes geeks prefer technology. 

More bikey stuff

Yes, it is,

There's more to me than that, but hey, let's roll with it.

Garmin Connect - Activity Details for Untitled
This was a zoomy ride. Not even a particulary good tail wind.

It's just Spring. Warmer, faster, and with a silly grin on my face.

Best part, other cyclists acknowledging my "hello".

Oh and watching a tandem go in the opposite direction. I can only imagine they're commuting. What a way to "car pool"

We are on the brink of a new era. If only....

The quote comes from the Beiderbeck affair. It sums up, well stuff.

No idea what I'm going to put here, but save to say it'll be something. Occasionally. Eclectic
