Last week, in addition to the live WWDC coverage, we did a live broadcast of Ignite Philly. If you're not familiar with the Ignite format, the events allow people to present for precisely five minutes on any topic they wish, while backed by a Powerpoint/Keynote presentation, automatically advancing every five minutes.
I was struck by the breadth of offerings from purely technology projects like iSepta, to community efforts like The Food Trust, and plenty of hybrids of both like the 100K House project. It was great to say hello to TDL watchers in person, and get better plugged in with the creative minds in our own backyard. If there's an Ignite event coming up in your city, I'd highly suggest checking it out. For those in the Philadelphia area, check out ignitephilly.org to find the next Ignite event.

Those of you in the Philadelphia are well aware of the lack of an Apple Store in Center City (much to the delight of area resellers). Currently, those who wish to buy directly from Apple must travel to the suburban Ardmore location, go across the bridge to Cherry Hill, NJ or go even further to King of Prussia.
