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.

One reason I want to life in Buffalo the rest of my life - TRAFFIC
We ate yummy food at a teashop too (e:theecarey)
I had Saint John's Wort Tea and it made me feel insane. I kind of feel like a psuedo tripping dizzyness.
I do not recommend eating to many extreme sour candies like warhead. I feel so sick from it even though they tasted so good. I might as well have eaten a dozen lemons.

Vendor Product InfomercialCategory: conference
So far the conference has been a sort of vendor product infomercial. I hope tomorrow with it's focus on search will be more interesting.
I know it's not just me being picky because I hear other people complaining and so far a couple people have even challenged the speakers on what they were saying.
In the future, I would rather attend a developers conference, like the PHP one right near by or the database DB world conference in Toronto last month.
At least california is cool, sushi is cheap and they gave me a free ipod for registering early.

Paul! Don't forget to save every receipt. You get 50$/day refunded for food expenses. So save em, it's really easy just hand the envelope of papers to Kathy and she works her gentle magic.

All of those consumer items were from the asian dollar store. I thought the above seven were out of place, that's why I took the pic.

I love the random pictorial.
Are those pics from the cool looking japenese store that (e:twisted) posts about?
'Beyond Seven', huh? how much beyond seven are we talking about? haha..
bleh, that is both a nice and gross pic of the fish egg sushi. I just can't get beyond 'finding nemo' in between my teeth.
I hit up China town and brought back candy that you will like. I intend to share, unless I eat all by then ;)
I didnt know that you were/are attending a KM conference!!!!!I get invites to those every year. That is more my thing- strategic business, process improvement, etc. Make sure to bring me back some good info!
have fun :)

One dot of serviceCategory: conference
I am at The KM world intranets conference now. Skipped the google adaptive path guy web 2 speech for one on network metrics. I found it interesting but am amazed at how product centric it was.
Got a free ipod for signing up early. Ipod number three. The new washing machine hasn't eaten one yet.
So here I am at this big fancy corporate intranet conference and the graphic on the back of the program show an intranet on mac os 9 explorer. Low design budget? Things that make you go hm.

The HotelCategory: travel
So I got to (e:twisted)'s house safely. I thought I was supposed to be staying at the Marriot but when I called they nor the Hilton at the event have a reservation for me and they are booked. At least I know someone here. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I took a bus there and then they didn't have reservations. Maybe I was supposed to make the reservations. Either way, at least I somewhere to stay and a way to the event.
Wish me luck.
Wish me luck.
A friend wrote back to an email today, apologizing for not writing back yesterday, and said "sorry... didn't check email yesterday." And I thought "wow... a whole day without email? I wonder what that is like."
You are in a tundra of reality which I wish never to visit. Be brave, I'm sure some kind soul will save you from you purgetory soon.
