I travel a lot, and like to meet up with cool folks when I do, when possible, so here’s my upcoming schedule.
May 20-22 – Vancouver (REM business)
May 24-25 – San Francisco for Facebook event (free most of Friday)
May 30-31 - Toronto, for MESH 07 (speaking on a panel)
June 30 – July 6 - Dublin, Ireland (REM shows). I might head somewhere else after that if anyone has any suggestions on cool tech hot spots in Europe….
Indeterminate but likely: New York, every 4-6 weeks.
Cool stuff, but using Control4 is cheating. And expensive.

This is so cool. Love that under New York is this hidden world of old.

So, its not as good in the screen, the speed, weight, cell modem, video or apps, and yet is a competitor? How?

I find it amusing that the same people who lament, mock and take glee in the demise of traditional media are very happy that one of the hallmarks of "New Media" - Techmeme - got a (deserved) profile in the New York Times.

Pretty much sums up my feelings on Android. I fear as well that with the rapid pace of "This is the BEST ANDROID PHONE ON THE MARKET" -- seemingly every three weeks -- we are nearly to the point where one company (say HTC) will cause an Osborne Effect on another manufacturer (say, Motorola or Samsung). It is only in each companies best interest to have the worlds best Android phone (WBAP for short). I fear its about to get nasty.

R.E.M. should, one random day, close down College Ave between Broad and Washington, setup a stage, play, pack up and head back into their office. Unannounced.

ah man, I was hoping we’d cross paths at d5 down in C’bad,
I’m due to be at the July 5 Dublin show, if any of you guys want to hang out/let me buy you a Guinness etc.
Ethan – if you want to grab a drink or coffee in the Bay Area let me know. Are you flying back on 25th? Maybe meet me at the YouTube offices (we’re by SFO).
welcome to the great white north again!
i assume we’ll see you at Bryght at some point!

I’ll be in Dublin for the first two shows (6/30 and 7/1). If you’re free to meet a random blackrimglasses/murmurs reader, let me know.
