Breakfast at Ancho's, the restaurant in Omni Downtown, with John K, Eric D, and Richard B. There was a misunderstanding about the meeting time, so I ended up waiting a bit. I ordered a breakfast quesadilla, nothing spicy. Tasty. While waiting I ran a speed test on Omni Lobby: download: 1.82 Mbps, upload: 0.12 Mbps, ping: 1011 ms. DrupalCon keynote (driesnote) and sessions. Dries's keynote was about the history of the camera, the experience web, the web is becoming more closed, headless drupal, and the need for Drupal to embrace big players. levelten tom mccracken, the fifth discipline - orgs must learn faster, systems learning, free version available but content only, pro version expected out of beta in 6 months, open enterprise, advantage: everything is inside drupal, based on reactions from the audience hubspot seems to be popular. During one of the breaks I walked around the convention center and discovered Moonshine, Waller Creek, and Iron Works BBQ. Hotel. Nap. Dinner with Eric at Uncle Julio's: chili con queso, fajitas. With some difficulty at first, John and Eric got me in to the Phase 2 party at Container Bar. I met Sierra's friend Jen. I listened to bad karaoke singing. The container spaces were cool, interesting. In a restroom somewhere today I saw a hand drier I had never seen before: FastDry.
