Thanks to all the people who showed up at Kepler’s Thursday night to hear me talk about Dreaming in Code. It was my very first event as a published author, and it was great to see so many interested faces and hear so many intelligent responses. I’m even getting the hang of signing books as a left-handed person (binding gets in the way, ink smudges, etc.). In the Murphy’s Law category, my car battery died on University Ave. in Palo Alto where I’d stopped for coffee beforehand; fortunately, I knew my way around well enough to hike to Kepler’s in time to make an only slightly sweaty appearance. (Triple A took care of getting the car started for the trip home to Berkeley.)
Yesterday I had a similarly invigorating event at Yahoo — what seemed like more than 100 Yahoo folks brought in their lunches and heard my talk. I’ve got several former colleagues and longtime blogger acquaintances at Yahoo, and I was glad to have the chance to talk about the book, and software, to such a knowledgeable, and attentive, crowd.
Tomorrow (Sunday) I’m out at the Pleasanton Library at 2 p.m. in an event sponsored by Towne Center Books, so if you’re in the (farther) East Bay and interested, come on by!
