Quixotic Bravado by Josh Babetski

• at the Irish bank. Place us hopping
• @antthelimey what’s the difference?
• I can has trolley ride?

• If only I’d been checking in on twitter more tonight. The impromptu @zappos party was 3 blocks away from my hotel; only got back 2hrs ago!
• I wish my friends Amy and Joe (and now baby Alex) lived closer so we could hang out more often (or we did). Another upside to visits to SF.
• Got a hybrid cab back from train, a singing homeless person got my door and I rode an elevator with 8 Russian mobsters. How was your night?
• Things learn from the Denver followers today: It’s Thursday, the definition if "vim" & @chipd is anxious to resume playing cowbell in a band
• @zappos Own it! Tell people you did it on purpose: You’re THAT dedicated to your brand.
• Final day at JavaOne. Need new suggestions on what to do in San Francisco tonight?
• @JasonCalacanis The Mahalo game walk throughs are great! The guides (and members) do a much better job than the "major" gaming portals.
• BTW: a MapQuest jRuby app won a shoot out in one of the JavaOne sessions yesterday. Devs are starting to get we’re not just your mom’s MQ.
• @traceym75 and @lilitroy: I expect to see ad pitches by CoB Friday. That of course would be tomorrow, as you’ve both already pointed out.
• @traceym75 The trick to handling marketing is to make it seem even edgier, then when you scale back to the edginess you wanted, it looks ok.
• @lilitroy You could say the same for baked beans.
• Off to meet @meangreenw at Starbucks, something about having too many bags to lug to the Moscone or something.
• @meangreenw got yelled at for trying to get me lunch. Spent thousands and thousands to do javaone, but getting me a $3 salad: near expul …
• so my laptop bag fell over w/@meangreenw’s dell in it as well as mine. Her screen’s cracked; my MacBook Pro: fine. Speaks volumes.
• netflix emailed: sent wrong DVD; corrected it, sent right one, issued a credit. Didn’t even know. @comcastcares: take a cust. serv. lesson!

• When on the east coast, Denver tries sticking meetings on my calendar late PM, so of course since on west coast, they go early AM. Need FoD!
• @lilitroy I don’t think Denver could handle me there 24/7. Plus, you still have snow in April — increases my acquisition cost.
• @chipd and @lilitroy: No good thunderstorms either? WTF! PA’s aren’t the best, but at least we get ‘em.
• 1 more hour of JavaOne then need to take a baby bullet to Palo Alto to see old friends. Love SF area; I could live out here.

• in north beach in SF: dinner at mona lisa; at vesuvio for a drink now.

• Travels to SF hit snag in Chitown: Flight cancelled. Am now swinging through LA on way to bay.
• On plane in LA. Be in SFO in a little over an hour. United’s harshing my Cinco de Mayo.
• Finally in SF! Beautiful day here. Need recommendations for things to do tonight.
• @graham310 Italian is probably a better option than a Mexican place full of Java devs.

• Finishing some revisions on a 15-page work doc which has zero mentions of beer and thus less fun to work on.
