Silicon Valley is an amazing place. Last night I had three different opportunities to meet people. I had originally planned to go to the Indie Film Camp in San Francisco, but somehow ended up back in Silicon Valley picking up Albert from the Under the Radar event. Decided not to go back to San Francisco, having already driven 200 miles yesterday. Albert wanted to hook up with Scoble, over in Palo Alto. In we went to Bella Luna, on University, and there was Robert, and Shel, and a bunch of other bloggers. The two were in town for a blogger event. Where else can you find such a mix of folks in such close proximity?
Shel, by the way, is pumped about his trip to Toronto next week. He couldn’t stop talking about it. Monday’s blogger dinner is going to be a great event. Remember: 6:30 at Shoeless Joe’s. $3 beers, and free finger food. Let’s see how many Canadian bloggers we can get out to the event.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

Was it you that came in with Dave? I hadn't caught your name and was so dead tired I could barely lift my head… Anyways, see you tomorrow. I'll be flying out early to make it
