I’m at ZendCon this morning and I’m really excited for the conference. The keynote is starting in a few minutes. I laughed out loud when I walked in and they were playing the song from Iron Man 2 when Hammer made his presentation at the big Stark Convention. I couldn’t get the image of that guy dancing around on stage.
Waiting for the Keynote to start

So there’s this really cool visualizer that is showing tweets. Somebody’s tweet showed up saying, “I wish I had an excuse for feeling this hungover. #ZendCon”;
Andi (Zend CEO) is on stage now. Talking about disruptions in web development: Mobile, Cloud, Social.
Andi is talking about SalesForce.com Chatter as a disruptive technology.
