    This year PalmSource is at the San Jose Convention Center. Previously, the Santa Clara Convention Center was home to the conference.

    On February 4, 2001, I dislocated my right elbow while playing Ultimate Frisbee at the Los Palmas Park in Sunnyvale. It’s been one year, and I returned to the playing field, now at Columbia Park in Sunnyvale. The group has changed since I was last playing at the beginning of…

    It’s been awhile since I last saw Vienna play. She’s gaining quite the following on the Internet and on the coffee shop circuit. There were many more people at the Red Rock Coffee Company than the last time that I saw her there! The seeds of greatness typically begin in…

    The Palm i705 Handheld was released today. It was an arduous climb to the summit, but the product is finally out the door. Of course, I froze to death along the way, but left enough of my climbing equipment available for the rest of the team to make it to…

    Last night in Berkeley, there was a party at Suzanne’s place for Kai. The party was originally going to be a going away party for him, as he was expected to leave the Bay Area for “gold and riches” along the Eastern shores of New York. Fate had it that…

    Thursday at MacWorld didn’t bring any additional surprises. As I said in my previous entry, MacWorld SF 2002 seemed smaller than the ones I’ve previously attended. Unless you signed up for the workshops and presentations, you could easily cover the entire show in one day. Something that’s always fun at…
