She found my phone in her car and brought it to me on break. Then we went to Sonoma Chicken which was one of the tastiest eateries I have ever eaten at. Where else do you get orchids on your salad.

The streaming media conference here is more intersting. One of the interviewers in the hall just asked a macromedia tech if youtube could even exist without macromedia. I have one word for that - ebaumsworld

I do love flash video though just because it makes dealing with cross platform that much easier.

As for the knowledge management conference it keeps getting lamer. The last session was about how to choose a vendor search solution.

It seems like everything is geared for managers and purchasing directors.

Let me give you a sample of a talk.

'Flexibility and User Experience'

At first glance sounds good like I could apply it to my work. Then you read the description, 'This session discusses the journey of several clients to solve their search needs within a portal environment. (still sounds good) It illustrates with concrete examples how SharePoint intergrated with eneterprise seach technology increases the findability of enterprise content, enhances the capabilities of a portal, and improves the user experience.'

The problem with this is that it is an infomercial for microsoft SharePoint. I am not using that, I have no purchasing power even if I wanted it, and I hate microsoft products. I can't even figure out how to search the body of emails in my inbox using microsoft outlook web client. Why would anyone ever want their search product. They can't even manage their own MSN search very well.

P.S. The people at the streaming media conference are more attractive. Is that just freak cooincidence or what. Maybe I just am more attracted to artists.

Not only did I not bring my laptop with me. I have now left my phone in (e:twisted)'s car which is returning to San Francisco. I cannot believe it is going to be a virtually technology free day. I suppose I can watch televison tonight or just go drinking.
