I took notes on about ¾ of the talks on my iPad using Goodnotes. I'm getting closer to sketchnotes the more I practice this and I figured why not share what I took.</p><p>Videos should be published soon by the organizers.</p><p><a href="https://aaron.blog/content/files/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/the-lead-developer-austin.pdf">Download the PDF</a><a href="https://aaron.blog/content/files/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/the-lead-developer-austin.pdf">Download</a></p>https://aaron.blog/conferences-my-add-brain/Sun, 23 Oct 2016 16:10:17 +0000https://aaron.blog/conferences-my-add-brain/<p>I drafted this post with an idea that I wanted to apologize to all the people I've met at conferences and I do not recognize them the next time we meet. It's especially embarrassing when I've had conversations online with them and didn't connect to two realities. The problem lies with how my brain works and how Attention Deficit Disorder can skew memories and how I process things.</p><figure><img src="crap-i-forgot-your-name3.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="crap-i-forgot-your-name3" loading="lazy" width="300" height="206"></figure><p>Frequently when I meet people I've forgotten their names within seconds. I try to say their name over again and to reinforce the memory of meeting them with some facial features or bits about what they work on. This process works well in the beginning of most events but within a few hours to a second day or more, I'm toast.</p>
