Northwest Connects on Saturday seemed to be a great success. I’m not saying that as one of the event organisers, or as a sponsor, or let it be said as one of those who actually made it in the end to a lot of the talks – just two and a half.

It’s exciting to hear about the new Samsung LED TV and how internet services that we’ve become so familiar with – YouTube, Flickr & Yahoo! – will soon be much more accessible in the average sitting room.
Yes, the ways and means to do this is already out there; Apple TV, Mac Mini, the browser on Wii – but still requires that early adopter mentality which frankly is not of interest to most people.
For this particular early adopter – the path to these types of fool proof technologies has been a long one.
