Hey, I was there. Depending on if you were there the same year as was I. San Jose 2005?I remember the audience was itching to give standing ovations.It's a shame they cancelled the Tech program.
If you get all of those other things right and you don't "Make Meaning", you're still screwed.I've seen Guy speak twice and each time this is #1 on his list of "things to do". Whatever you do, make sure that your service/product/company makes something that means something. The world doesn't need another articulated frabjulator. This was one of the guiding principles that led me to where I work today. No kidding. It makes all the difference in the world to wake up each day knowing that you're building products that matter to Actual Human Beings. As opposed to just developers. . . :)
Wait who are you guys? I went to NYLF Tech 2005 too which is where I got to see Guy first hand. The Guy really is an incredible speaker. He actually influenced what I want to do in life. His list is just keeping it real to weed out all the nonsense ideas.
I think I know this dude; he works out at my gym. Lives in Palo Alto but avoids the dot.com types. Doesn't talk much about what he does but definitely makes WAY than more he lets on. Drives a big black Hummer, always has weird tribal stuff from the Philippines he gives out after one of his trips, takes his GF to Sunny Beach in Bulgaria basically when ever they're bored with the Bay Area. Dude is funny, best way to piss him off is to mention PowerPoint!
