So hey, I remembered I have this blog…

It seems to me that that tweet I posted earlier needs more than the 140 characters alloted by Twitter. Also I tend not to remember my dreams, so this is a bit unusual and I wanted to write it down before I forgot. My dreams aren’t as lucid as Kat’s, but I’ll do my best.

Near as I can remember I was riding a forklift while being pursued through some sort of warehouse. Or maybe I wasn’t being pursued and just wanted to see how fast I could drive a forklift. In any event, I came to an obstacle that the forklift could not go over and so I climbed over and found myself in something like a break room…

It contained a drafting table and Gus Mueller was at the table writing some code or something. The guys from Rogue Sheep were there and I think Jalkut was rummaging through some cupboards. I dunno, but it quickly became apparent that we were in San Francisco getting ready to go to WWDC. Anyway, I was like “Hey Gus, what’s going on?” to which he replied that everyone was waiting for the ride to the Moscone to arrive. Apparently Apple was picking up groups of developers in limousines and several people had already left. Oh? I hadn’t heard about this I informed him. Someone else asked if I’d registered on Apple’s new DTS site. I informed them that I was just on the ADC site and figured that was good enough but apparently not having registered with DTS was why I didn’t know about the limousine rides. It seemed kind of silly to ride a couple blocks to the Moscone center, but I didn’t wanted to be left out and so I left to go and see if I could register in time to get my ride.

The registration process was edited from my dream as was the trip from the warehouse break room thingy to a hallway in the hotel or the lobby or something. Anyway after I was registered I started getting messages from the DTS site like “Flying Meat wants to be your friend”. This new site was some sort of Facebook / LinkedIn mashup for developers. It was terrifying. And yet I dreamed on…

There were displays in the hotel showing what appeared to be Twitter updates from various conference goers. Mostly these seemed to be updates from people that had arrived (via limousine) at the Moscone center. One tweet, and I couldn’t figure out who it was from, said “Calling somemomintn”. somemomintn is my wife’s unused Twitter name, so naturally I was thinking who the hell is calling my wife!? And where is my limo!?

So what does this all mean (besides that my wife is clearly having an affair with a Twitter user). Near as I can tell Apple must be buying Facebook and I assume Mark Zuckerberg will be using the proceeds to ferry all the developers to the conference via limousine. You read it here first.
