Before I head out to dinner, I don't want to forget to thank Adam Curry for being so gracious in his keynote and on the Gillmor Gang we taped there. I plan to do the flipside, tell my version of how the peanut butter got mixed with the chocolate. Actually I was thinking it was more like how Martin met Lewis. What a rude awakening it was to see how Adam writes code. Or eye-opening. My first response was "You can't do stuff like that." But when you want to make a point, and have an idea, and no one understands, and everyone thinks you're just a hairdo, well, you do what you have to do, even if it ain't pretty. We also had dinner last night along with Ponzi, Chris, Steve Gillmor and the Pirillo Parents (from Des Moines). Lots of new secrets were traded. Hmmm. 

Good afternoon everybody on the west coast, and good evening to those on the east coast. Good night to our friends in Europe. 

Chris Pirillo reports that Gnomedex changed his life. Funny thing, it changed mine too, in a big way. I've been telling the story verbally. I look forward to doing it in a podcast sometime in the next few days, but now I have to rest and then go out for Pho in San Francisco with Big Dave Jacobs. Just got a product demo that I'll report on shortly after I get back to Florida, late tomorrow night. For now I'm in San Francisco, pooped but exhilirated.
