I was invited to speak at the 10th annual Telluride Tech Festival held on October 1 and 2.  I chose the “Zen of Productivity” as my topic. The presentation discussed the role of productivity in the technological age, and how we can “humanize” technology.  Of course, that is what SmartTime is all about! At Left Coast Logic we believe that technology can make our lives both more productive and more fulfilling.  That way, we can do more of the things that we enjoy – because  there is more to life than just “getting things done.”

At the end of the presentation, I focused on the unique features of SmartTime, SmartTime Calendar (SmartCal), and SmartTime for iPad (SmartPad).  During the panel discussion there was much interest in our unique approach to combining tasks and events into one view while also allowing you to manage not only your lists but also your available time.  We will produce a podcast shortly. In the meantime, here are a few snapshots from the visit.

Telluride has a unique transportation system: a free gondola that connects the two villages via the top of a mountain.  It runs day and night.

There aren’t any photos of me (yet), but I believe I’ll be able to recover a video.  The event was held at the historic Sheridan Opera House, a turn-of-the-century theater that is also the headline venue for the Telluride Film Festival.

I don’t normally show snapshots of where I stay when I’m on business trips, but this is the beautiful condo that was provided by our hosts, LuxWest.  I think I’ll move back to Telluride…
