Random pictures from my recent Bay Area trip, including a pic of Steve Gillmor taken at our audio coffee clatch, Dave Jacobs, myself, classrooms at Stanford we'll use at BloggerCon, and people who came to eat spicy Scripting Noodles. My apologies to my food-mates, by the time we got to the restaurant I was totally talked out, having just led a three hour discussion of convention blogging before the dinner. Three hours of talking leaves me pretty well kaput.

Of course there is no such thing as a perfect conflict-free date for a conference, and there are some other things happening on the chosen day, but I'm sure any other Saturday would be much worse, so barring any last-minute emergencies we're going to freeze the date for BloggerCon III at November 6. Don't buy your non-refundable plane tickets yet, and don't stop the mail delivery, but you could give a heads-up to the baby sitter, and definitely mark the calendar, in pencil. ";->"

Big Dave Jacobs still needs a kidney. It's been a rough year in the Jacobs house, but The Big Guy is hanging in there. Anyway, after teaching his youngest kid to lip fart last week, I have to make amends by pointing to a walk for PKD that Dave's wife Amy is taking on September 19. She and Dave want to find a cure before any of their four kids, each of whom has a 50-50 chance of having the disease, gets symptomatic. You can help by sponsoring Amy's walk.

BTW another nice thing about SP2 is no more popups. Really. They're gone. Nice.
