The Convergence 2007 conference is almost over and it has been so fun seeing my friends and coworkers from all over the world and meeting new people. I do have conference feet at the end of the 10 hour days, but nothing that three aspirins can’t fix. The conference is in San Diego this year and I have some of my favorite extended family in town. But there is so much to do for this conference that I will not be able to hook up with my peoples. Once they find out I probably will never be forgiven. ;o)
It’s so nice in San Diego. Highs to 80, cool in the morning, superior sea food and the food in general is top-notch. I am hotel’ing down by the Embarcadero and there hundreds of boats and ships docked right next to the convention center. There are over 8500 people at this convention but traffic management is so good that with a little bit of flow management on my part I haven’t had to stand in lines. We got to hear Joel Barker at the keynote this morning (some of you might recognize the professor as the Paradigm Shift guy). Today he was all about innovation and verge recognition.
Okay, I’m home tomorrow and maybe I’ll include some pics and get back on topic. Take care, peeps.

I’m jealous! Sounds absolutely wonderful. I have never been to southern CA, only northern area like San Francisco, Napa Valley, that area. One of these days I’ll make it to San Diego though. Can’t wait to see some pictures.
OMG.. thank you for posting these photos. I love the one of the bay/harbor. I grew up in San Diego and know that as my "home". The last time I was there, I had to do a quick drive through on my way back to Albuquerque, NM and did not stay for more than three hours (or so). If I could take a vacation (or a conference, or a trip), it’d be to San Diego… sometimes I really miss it, although funniest thing is, whenever I have gone back, it’s just been so different.
Try to go to Horton Plaza (downtown) if you can while you’re there (or the next time you go). They have so many neat shops, even though I hate shopping it is like a retail museum.
Wow, love the pictures! Looks absolutley beautiful there. Been through San Diego a few times as a kid but dont remember much of it. I remember more about going across the boarder into Mexico…oh my. That was quite an experiance. Its like night and day. I am glad you had a good time! Spring break comes for us in one week. We are on a different time schedule for spring brreak than everyone else for some odd reason? Our School district changed it on us.
Best wishes for another sunny weekend ahead!
