Where U Been?

So much for the New Years resolution to kick the blog into high gear. A big ass work project landed in my lap the week before Christmas that required my daily attention for the better part of three weeks. A core team of madmen worked 24X7 only taking the 25th off and delivered the goods to a big prospective client on January 3. It went Really Well. This only meant more crazy work hours and more travel.

Last week I did my annual pilgrimage to Macworld Expo. This was my fifth year in a row, but the crazy work schedule out there meant that I only had an hour or so at the conference. I missed the Keynote, but I did get to browse the Expo floor, and put my hands on a new MacBookAir. Darn sexy machine, but with the throngs of people trying to get at them I only had a few minutes to try one out.

In total, I spent less than 48 hours in the Bay Area - flying in on Tuesday for a quick lunch with my team at Buck's in Woodside, a late afternoon meeting at The Mothership, and a late drive up to SF to meet an entrepreneur friend for a late dinner at the Daily Grill on Union Square. The next day I was up for a 6:00 am conference call that lasted until lunch, when I finally hit the Expo until my next meeting. That night I had drinks with some rockstars, then took a red-eye to Texas to meet my true technology rockstar partners for another presentation to The Big Prospect. Whew...

Next week: Texas, Malibu and more sleep deprivation...
