I'm in beautiful San Fran right now attending the Netsuite conference with a colleague. So far its been good learning a few things and networking with people. Networking's never been a strong point of mine and its certainly been quite a learning experience and it was actually a lot of fun. I think it also helps to realize that in a way everyone there is really trying to do the same thing!
Aside from the conference, I fortunately had some time to walk around town and do the touristy thing. Went to japantown and bought a couple of souvenirs; finally got to visit SFMOMA and see original works of art from artists I've long admired. Also got lost walking around downtown. Also enjoyed some good crab at the wharf.
That should be it for now. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.
One last note: I didn't know there was a Jollibee right in the middle of SF! I was here 3 years ago and was told no such thing existed! I'm now planning on hitting it up before I leave and hoarding a whole bunch of their burgers to bring back to Houston!
Found this site over at another vox blog. It's a site that lets you search through a list of metros all over the world that you've been. What exactly you do with this is up to you. You can post em in a blog like this!
Another metro I've been in but wasn't listed at the site was the Houston metro. Which ones have you been in?
Yahoo has a new social networking service for travel planning. The gist is that you can make up a complete travel plan with pictures, desciptions and everything and share it with everyone. This is good in that if you ever plan on taking a trip somewhere you can just check out where other people are going and what they would recommend. Although I kind of wish it was also a travel diary of sorts where people post where they've actually been as opposed to where they're going. Posting about something that they think would be good is just not the same as posting about something they know is good. What would also be nice is if you can somehow save the trip on your machine so if you're out somewhere in your trip and don't have an internet connection you can still use it for reference. Of course, you could print it out but that's like sooo old media :) Otherwise, I think it's a pretty nifty service and I look forward to what other improvements they make with it.
