So yesterday I trekked off into the distance, all the way to Brisbane, and for what reason you might ask?

Brisbane’s oddly month designed MacTalk meet ups, where the mac kids meet face to face.

Turn out was good, 8 people (three had iPhones).

We chatted about our jobs, and mainly the iPhone, whilst nibbling on wedges and meals.

It was good fun overall, and I know we all can’t wait until the next.

Here’s me!

You may have noticed that this weeks episode of Tech Wired Australia has been delayed.

The reason behind this was, I (Ben) went to BarCamp Gold Coast!

First of all let me just say that it was great.

The turn out was great also, 31 are in the group shot (including camera man) but there were more throughout the day!

Below is a picture of the turn out snapped by: djp photohraphy
