Evening At Adler - Mac Developers Unite
article-icon.jpgMac Zealots has posted the first audio coming out of the Evening at the Adler.

From the site:

Conferences are nothing new to the Mac and technology community. Speaking solely from the Mac perspective, we gather yearly for Macworld San Francisco, Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference and, up until recently, ADHOC.

At Macworld, consumers gather to discuss using the Macintosh in our everyday lives and to see the latest innovations from Apple and other Macintosh companies. Special interest groups are segregated by users, information technology workers and power users.

With the Worldwide Developers Conference, developers of all types gather to discuss the creation of the software that is on display at Macworld. WWDC lets developers focus on application technologies, enterprise applications and application development.

At ADHOC, geeks of all natures flocked to Michigan to write code, mod machines and perform any type of hack that can gain them notoriety with the other attendees.

One of the newest trends in technology conferences is thinking small and narrowing the focus. In recent years events like Foo Camp, BarCamp and Tag Camp. These un-conferences don’t have set speaker schedules, allow anyone and encourage everyone to participate in dictating the direction of the discussion.

The latest trend of un-conference gatherings is DrunkCamp (as dubbed by Jonathon “Wolf” Rentzsch): a group of independent Mac developers gathering for a free-form discussion of their business and their beliefs.

For the Mac fan who has everything.
tribal_tattoo_2_thumb.jpgA CO2 laser is used to laser etch an image or text onto your product of choice. The process is done at low power and can not damage your iPod or Powerbook.

The process is quick, clean, and permanent. From family pictures to corporate logos, line art, or your favorite team. You give us the art and we will etch your iPod or Powerbook. Want your entire Powerbook case etched? They can do that too! Their work is truly beautiful and if you've got a Powerbook or iPod that you plan on holding onto for a longtime, give them a look.
