If it were not for my insatiable Curious George nature, I would be overwhelmed!
VIPLineup - What was I thinking when I decided to relaunch VIPLineup? Technology has moved so fast and so much over the last 2 years that I feel like I need 6 mos to catch up! Will have to piece it together over the next 2 months. Twitter, rss feeds, blogs, facebook pages, website, event listings, uploads, downloads; trying to get it all to sing in harmony with the click of a button ... Cuddle Party - What? Gimme a break, cuddling as an event?. i'll let John Stossel handle this one ... Twitter - Warning - If you, your business or organization don't have a Twitter account, GET ONE NOW. Even if you don't use it, just get it! Eventually, you will realize that you want one, and like website domain names and email addresses, you'll be upset if your name is already taken. Then you'll end up with something like @joesmith7834619. Same goes for organizations and businesses. Don't say I didn't tell you so. I've quickly become a huge fan of Twitter, but not because of the idle chatter from individuals, because of the massive amount of information it allows me consume when I want to, as I want to, and from whom I want to. Most reputable businesses and orgs have twitter accounts these days. Here's my quick summary of the Twitter world (or check Twitter FAQs), and if you want more (and you should), check out The Twitter Guide Book. ...
Family - My daughter is only 19 mos old and already she insists that I look at her when she's "talking" to me! Where did she get that from? ... Oakland - Oakland has its share of crime issues. People living there know that fortunately it's limited to a couple of neighborhoods that get a lot of ink. People outside of Oakland think that the whole city is a war zone, except for maybe precious Piedmont, Montclair and Rockridge. But what a lot of us are excited about is the growth of downtown's "Uptown Broadway Hip Strip," which runs from the corner of Broadway/Grand to Broadway/Webster. Check it out: Lukas | Franklin Square Wine Bar | Ozumo | Pican | Mimosa | Mua. Go a little further up Broadway and there's also Z Cafe and Bar. The fun has only just begun ... Nothing to do? Impossible. In the last week I've rediscovered that the Bay Area isn't a matter of "what is there to do, it's more like, "how do I fit all this in? ...
Luv technology. Besides the obvious (email, pics, text, phone, games, banking), from my iphone I can write this blog (typepad), read and send "tweets" (tweetdeck and tweetie), record and send video (built-in), send video tweets (12seconds), read the Bible (youversion), view any location on earth (google earth), automatically share photos/videos/pics/notes with my desktop (mobileme and evernote), level a piece of wood (ihandy level), and always name that tune (shazam). What can you do? ... The summer is nearing an end and I still haven't been to Tahoe or Capitola. What's my problem? ... Tomorrow, it's all about the opening of Lake Chalet (article) on Lake Merritt in Oakland ... It's 1:45p on Sunday and my daughter (Amaya) just woke up from her nap. Sunday Choices - Art & Soul, Oakland Museum, Wine Festival in Moraga, Singing in the Rain @ Woodminster, Stern Grove, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival... Gotta go!
