First Annual SmileOnMyMac WWDC Party
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is going on this week in San Francisco. We got our first preview of Leopard and we think the new OS will result in cool and useful new features for future versions of our applications.
Last night, we held our First Annual SmileOnMyMac WWDC Party:

A little background on our fellow developers:
OmniGroup, based in Seattle, ships several wonderful products, including the new OmniPlan. My personal favorite is OmniDiskSweeper, which I use regularly to clean up my hard drive.
Parliant produces the productive PhoneValet Message Center, which integrates with our PageSender fax software. They’re based in Ottawa, Canada.
Circus Ponies makes the acclaimed Notebook software for outlining and organizing ideas. I learned that Notebook was originally written on NEXTSTEP and resurrected for Mac OS X. I learned that Jayson and I share the same alma mater.
Ovolab offers the Phlink, which brings your telephone into the Digital Hub and also integrates with PageSender. They’re based in Turin, Italy (that’s Torino in Italian).
We had a lot of fun chatting with our fellow Mac OS X developers, and we all look forward to the Second Annual SmileOnMyMac WWDC Party.

Hey, my eyes are closed! You guys kept me up too late with all the geek talk…
If you’re interested in “Getting Things Done” (and who isn’t?), check out Kinkless GTD, a free set of AppleScripts that work with OmniOutliner Pro, which is my favorite Omni app.

Hopefully I’ll make the next one…
So where was the event held? I spy a little Chinese cat statue in the corner, but that clue doesn’t help me…

The party was held at Philip’s cottage in San Francisco. We lucked out, and there was little fog, so we had a nice view of Alcatraz from his back deck.

[...] The week started off with a bang at the sfMacIndie fête at Jillians, which we co-sponsored this year rather than throw our own party. [...]
