Follow along with us!</p> <p>There's a lot to see, do, and talk about beyond the doors of Moscone. After Apple's keynote, Rene, Peter, and myself are off into the wide world of
WWDC 2015 week, speaking at
Layers and
AltConf, chatting with developers, recording
radio plays, and maybe even singing a little karaoke with
The Beard. And we're doing it all live. We'll be updating this post periodically with our thoughts, funny photos, strange insights, and whatever else we find on the ground at San Francisco.</p> <p>(For the unfiltered, behind the scenes action, make sure you follow us on Twitter as well:

It takes my love of traveling with the iPhone a step further. Now, not only do I have my cards and passes in one neat digital place, that place is extended up onto my wrist.

When it doesn't — for example, when boarding pass trumps Starbucks card in the airport location lottery — I just open Passbook while I'm waiting in line, and then jump back to it when I'm about to pay. Merchants managed.</p> <p>I like mango juice before I fly. It's like drinking liquid sun. Now that they have scanners at the airport Starbucks, it makes things even faster and more convenient.

This is one of my favorite times of the year for a bunch of reasons: I get to see all my old friends from San Francisco, hang out with developers and journalist buds I've made over the last few years, and most excitingly — get a preview of all the goodies the folks in Cupertino have been hard at work on over the last year.</p> <p>I love the rush of joy that comes over people when they finally get to talk about their projects, and doubly so when it's also an excuse to break my phone and iPad with pre-release software. (I'm one of those dummies who tests on some of my production devices. It's a very bad habit. But I love QA testing and new goodies too much not to do it.)</p> <p>I'm very very excited about the keynote on Monday. Even with rumors of the new Apple TV being held for another event down the line, there's still a ton of stuff the company can talk about. Not only that, but I get to cover the keynote live for the second year in a row. Last year's WWDC was my first ever Apple event in the room, and I'm absolutely thrilled that I get to go back and do it all over again — this year, with iMore.</p> <p>Whoop, time to power down my laptop. See you all in San Francisco!</p> <h3>7PM ET — And the banners are waving!</h3> <p>Friend of iMore
Marc Edwards snapped some great shots of WWDC banners-in-progress. It's starting to feel SO REAL.</p> <ul><li>
