The fall Breakpoint Jam tour kicked off last week at CocoaConf Columbus.
A mix of full and conditional breakpoints joined in to play a set of James Dempsey and the Breakpoints songs for the crowd.
Jonathan Penn (@jonathanpenn) of Rubber City Wizards was inducted as a full Breakpoint following his stellar performance at the Live Near WWDC 2013 show in June. In Columbus, he donned some shades and jammed on guitar and backing vocals.
The jam also included a few Conditional Breakpoints—folks who jam in the pickup band when they happen to be in town.
Nathan Sjoquist (@nathansjoquist) was on hand, taking a break from iOS development for some guitar and backing vocals.
And finally, on the all-important slide-advance keyboard was keynote speaker extraordinaire, Daniel Steinberg (@dimsumthinking) of Dim Sum Thinking.
The Breakpoint Jam fall tour rolls on to CocoaConf Boston later this month and then CocoaConf Atlanta in November.
Thanks for all the support in Columbus! And if we’re coming to a town near you, I hope you can join us in Boston and Atlanta!

The show is just a few blocks from Moscone West at 50 Mason Social House. Admission is free—no cover charge and no ticket required. We provide the music, you buy the drinks.
Join fellow iOS and Mac developers for an evening of humorous and informative songs including favorites such as Hold Me, Use Me, Release Me; I Love View and Model View Controller. And don’t miss the live performance of our latest single, that modern tale of momentary loss and redemption, Almost Dropped My iPhone.
Night Of A Thousand Breakpoints
(Well… at least five or six)
This year, the show features a lineup of Mac and iOS indie developer luminaries and maybe even a special guest or two. The Breakpoints include:
They will be joined by the incomparable Victor Alexander (@victoralexander) on slide-advance keyboard.
No WWDC Ticket Required
The show is open to all—no WWDC ticket required—making it a great event for all developers in town for the week. There’s not even an NDA, so tell your friends and come on out to James Dempsey and the Breakpoints, Live Near WWDC 2013. •
