Krugle’s booth was very busy, with John Mitchell, Steve Larsen, and Don Thorson giving lots of demos, including to Dan Farber of Ziff Davis just before I showed up.

The offbeat kickoff presentation first thing this morning was a big hit: the MooBella customized ice cream vending machine. Very cool (so to speak).

And below is the CEO of GarageBand.com, Ali Partovi,
just before he gave me a demo. (This is the company that existed before Apple starting using the name, and actually licensed it it to them to use! Which has been some of their best advertising, I guess.) They’re doing lots of interesting things related to helping people organize their iPod music, discover new music, and (coming soon) giving them new ways to quickly share it. They have a cool instant podcasting tool, too, called Gcast.
