Mindtrekkin'

I'm in Tampere for the conference also known as Mindtrek. It's busy and it's nice to see familiar faces, some of whom I've only met virtually before; and some with whom I've worked before. Everything seems focused on mobile; lots of good discussion on Android, Apple and, of course, Nokia.

Though sometimes this virtual-mobile-thing gets a bit out of hand. I was approached by someone today who asked for my mobile number, twiddling with his phone. I started to give it, and then stopped:

"Hey, didn't I give you my card?"

A short look of confusion. Then:

"Oh, yeah. Forgot that that's why we exchange these cards."
