My First WordPress Meetup

Nick Momrik4 Comments

On Wednesday, I attended the 2008 MacWorld WordPress Meetup at Chaat Cafe.

The first person I met was Andrew because I noticed a WordPress sticker on his laptop while we were in line ordering food. Shortly after we sat down, Matt walked in. I’ve been using WordPress since version 0.72 back in 2003, so it was nice to finally meet him. Marianne and Nicole were a couple of others I met and talked to for awhile. Everyone was great to meet and hang out with.

There were others I talked to and even more I didn’t get to meet. Since this was my first meetup I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. I’m going to try and start a meetup back in Saginaw, MI when I get home.

I didn’t meet Lisa, but found her blog while doing a Google searches for other posts about the meetup. She has a few photos from the event posted. I’m in the blue shirt sitting down with my back to the camera in one of the photos.

Anti-Glare Film Set for iPhone

The Anti-Glare Film Set from Power Support is a must have for iPhone owners. The regular price is $14.95, but I bought mine yesterday at the MacWorld Expo for $10 out-the-door.

Two “films” come in the package. They are easy to remove, can be cleaned, and reused. The film isn’t sticky or “shrink wrapped” onto the phone like a lot of the screen covers. It simply uses static cling to stay in place. I’m not sure how well this will work over time, but it’s been great for a day. It literally took me longer to open the package then it did to get it on my iPhone correctly.

In addition to protecting the glass screen from being scratched, the film has a matte finish which does a great job at preventing glare. More importantly though, it keeps fingerprints from taking over your view and I think it makes the multi-touch display even easier to use. My fingers no longer get hung up due to the oils and sweat on my skin coming into contact with the glass.

I am in no way affiliated with the company and have not been compensated in any way to write this review.
