			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other night I was sitting at work finishing up some things and the <a href="http://phxrails.com">Phoenix Rails Meeting</a> was just starting.  After that meeting, we had a great discussion on <a href="http://www.macruby.org">MacRuby</a> and some of what was in the future for that platform.  From there several of us headed to <a href="http://libertymarket.com">Liberty Market</a> to meet up with <a href="http://nscodernight.com/">NSCoders</a> and had a great discussion on <a href="http://apple.com">Apple</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/apps-for-iphone/">AppStore</a> and various business models around it.  During the ride home I recorded the following in hopes of making a blog post.  Some how, it just says it better than bad prose ever could.</p>
<p><a href="http://derekneighbors.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/memo.m4a">Isn&#8217;t It Awesome?</a> (Audio Memo)</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Awesome getting work done while listening to a presentation about a platform you use for your day job.  Then have compelling discussion about platform being developed. Leave that discussion with a few other people to get a bite to eat at a top rate eatery.  While there have a phenomonal discussion about  the business side of deploying applications at various price points and dealing with ecosystems of platforms you deal with in the company of entirely different people.  Have it all be close to home, great food, great atmosphere, great people at both places. Something that is starting to happen <strong>EVERYDAY</strong> not just every once in a while.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>We don&#8217;t celebrate the victories enough.  On this particular night, I felt like I was in Silicon Valley.  I felt euphoric about the discussions, energy and passion that I had experienced as a part of a normal day.  I didn&#8217;t feel like I was attending the typical manufactured events.  I felt like I was just going about my day and awesome was surrounding me.  It reminded me that maybe, just maybe at times <a href="http://saint-rebel.com/">Josh Strebel</a> get&#8217;s it right.</p>
