If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw all my updates from the Big Omaha tech conference this weekend. There was a company that had a booth setup to display their capabilities of developing software for the Microsoft Surface computer. The Surface is essentially a big giant computer shaped like a table that is touchscreen controlled. It also has the capability to read/scan things that touch the surface as well (p.s. if you haven’t seen the MS parody video, you need to watch it).

I was pretty excited to see the Surface in action after reading the hype on tech blogs these past couple of months. It’s rumored to be over $10k. I had Jason from phenomblue.com walk me through how the program they developed for Big Omaha worked. Watch the video blog!

I attended Big Omaha- a conference that featured several speakers in the online space (e.g. Gary Vaynerchuk, Jason Fried and Ben Rattray), it was dedicated to bringing together others with like interests of that great-super-thingy called the Internetz!

I snapped a few photos at the conference and along my way Omaha, NE (it was my first time in Nebraska). Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with both the amount of tech in Omaha and the city itself during my visit. These photos are shot with my new 17-40mm Canon lens- which I’m in LOVE with.
