Pogue Keynotes ICE 08…eh. →
The annual Indiana Computer Educators (ICE) conference in Indianapolis was held last week and the thing I was sort of looking forward to was David Pogue’s keynote Friday. His topic was “The Digital Generation Comes of Age” and so I got a good seat in the back center row. Like others, my main exposure to Pogue was the Missing Manual books and his iPhone video. I also liked the idea that he was from...
