GSP West 08: Hot and Cold

It's a hot conference, and what do I get?  A damn cold!  And I just had a doozer back in January, too.  Is this the worst, hellish year for colds and flu that you can remember, or what?  It sure is for a lot of people I know....

Anyway, I'm sucking it up (oh, god, that's bad), tryin' to keep up.... I did my live-Twittering thing yesterday, after getting well practiced at DEMO. Gspopeningscene See my 40 or 50 something tweets (I lost count) here.  Then chatted over wine with Aaron Fulkerson (MindTouch), Dan Carroll (Somr.org, former Twin Citian, now Mountain View), Chris Messina (DISO guy), Maria Sipka (Linquia, a fellow Aussie and surfer), Chris Gammill (a buddy from LA), and others -- all while uploading my pix on Flickr.

Afterwards, attended part of AppNite (couple of cool ones!), then managed to hear most of Tim O'Reilly's keynote at 8:00 -- it was good, very inspired. Tim is amazing. Took a lot of notes, but was all out of Twitter juice by that time. So, dragged myself back to my hotel (a very cool little boutique place called the Sophia). Now it's Tuesday morning, and I'm seriously looking for a Walgreens so I can load up on cold medicine...  :-(
