No WWDC Day 4 for me
Instead of going to WWDC today, I went to Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus (SVC) to visit the Mac BU folks there – a good chunk of the product team is in SVC. Thanks to some concrete disintegrating on 280 (or something), 101 was a nightmare this morning - it took me an hour and forty five minutes to get from downtown San Francisco to SVC (I spent longer in a car than I spent in the airplane getting from SEA to SFO for cryin' out loud).
Traffic aside, it was a nice visit. I wish I could have met more folks – of my 6 hours there (it was supposed to be 7+ hours, see traffic complaint above), I spent 3 1/2 in conference calls back to Redmond – doh! Ah, well, I will be down on a regular basis, so there’s plenty of time to get to know folks. And the Seattle-San Jose commute sure beats the DC-Seattle commute I did for almost 2 years at AOL!
As a side note, I still can't believe the multi-year flashback that happened to me yesterday that had my type "OS/X" instead of "OS X". ("How ya gonna do it? PS/2 it!"). It bugged me so much that I just committed blogger sacrilege and corrected the entry without even any strike tags (although I left the comment evidence).
