I was watching Wall-E for the 3rd time today. It’s an amazing movie which is all about optimism; Wall-E who was left alone along with his little pet was able to save the earth after 700 years.

When I was watching the movie, I found many things in common with MacOS. First of all, Wall-E recharges 3 times (if I’m not wrong) during the movie and when it charges, it plays the Mac’s start-up shime. What is also remarkable is that Eve’s design is so close to Macs! So I guessed that there should be a link between this movie and Apple.

I just came back from the BlogWorldExpo 2008 which was held in Las Vegas. This is my first experience as an exhibitor, and I love it :D! Woopra was sharing a booth with WordPress and LayeredTech and it was one of the busiest places in the trade show.

I met plenty of Woopra fans, they shared their Woopra experience with us. Lorelle VanFossen (our crazy editor) was doing some Woopra demos for those who have never seen Woopra. Also John, Jad and I were there answering some Woopers questions and writing a big list of features requests. As I got home, I started the implementation of that list.

At night, we were hanging out with John P., Aaron Philips and Greg Kuiper. We spent our time taking pictures, gambling, walking, walking, walking and walking. My legs are still hurting now…

Last time I was in Las Vegas, I didn’t have the chance to see the old vegas! this time we did and John took a video on the Freemont Street show; I posted it here. We have also taken some photos, I posted some of the pics taken by Greg and I. I’m still waiting for John and Lorelle to send me what they got to post them here!
