I’m cruising through the BMC UserWorld session catalog, looking at the sessions I’d like to attend but can’t. Fortunately, it’s for a very good reason. I’ll be a little bit too pregnant to board the plane for the trip home to Austin from San Francisco!
The main conference starts August 29th and goes until September 1st. I’ll be 32 weeks pregnant on the 30th of August, and both my doctor and the airlines discourage airplane travel after 32 weeks. It’s our second child so I do have some experience with the whole pregnancy scene, and completely agree not to board a plane at that point in the gestation period.
The BMC UserWorld website itself is a treat with some videos of the hosts of the various tracks. David Wagner has a blog at talk.bmc and David also has a cool video on the UserWorld site. The video style is like the iPod styling with a dual-chromatic tint for the entire video. The effect is rather cool.
Speaking of iPod-styled images, here’s our first born son dancin’ with a photoshopped iPod. I used this graphic for our holiday newsletter this year, following these instructions in a tutorial on photoshop Lab. The second baby on the way is also a boy, so we’re looking forward to lots of fun and adventures!
Enjoy BMC UserWorld and let me know what you learn. I plan to have lots of guest bloggers while I’m on maternity leave in a few more months, so keep an eye out for some new voices and ideas on my blog this fall and winter.
