BY ROBERT SCOBLE — SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA (somewhere above the Golden Gate bridge) — Maryam Scoble, last Thursday, said "I like Bubba's blog better than yours." (She's my wife).
Ahh, you think I don't take abuse? Heheh.
But I agree with her. That was a fun experiment. Bubba, you want another week? It'd make Maryam happy.
Anyway, why am I writing from a bench high above the Golden Gate bridge?
Because it's part of my new scheme to have and share unique experiences in technology with you.
More on that in the next post.
But, first, how did I survive having two weeks off? It was nice, actually. I gotta do that more often. It was good for my soul. Linda Stone told me a while back to make sure I'm taking care of myself and my family as much as I'm taking care of the blog. I didn't listen to her then, but she was right.
So, anyway, nature put on quite a show for me sitting on this bench. The city looked like a spotlight was on it. The light is getting lower every second now. It's remarkable when you think of all the geeky stuff going on in that small city below my little bench.
The Golden Gate bridge, to me, is a symbol of high technology. People come from around the world to walk on it. Take pictures of it. But within a two-hour drive from it much of the world's technology is produced. There is no other place like it for technologists in the world.
Well, I'm gonna step into my car. My hands are freezing. And it's getting a bit dark. I'll probably make my way across the bridge to post about the Makers' Faire Patrick and I attended today and why it inspired me to change how I approach my blog, events, and technology.
In the meantime (it might be an hour) read Engadget's coverage of the Maker Faire and check out my photos from the day. Yes, that was Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak playing Segway Polo.
