So many ways to waste all my time.

I wish I could say I had nothing interesting going on, but I spent last week in beautiful San Francisco at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, filling my head full of things that have nothing to do with my job. Included in that was seeing my friend Megan before she left for LA and eating and drinking way more than I should have. I mean, seriously, look at what I ate the first day with Megan and Nadeem. (Yes, lunch was Umami Burger).

Oh, and click at the images at your own peril, I didn’t bother to shrink them.

Umami Burger!
Megan's Quail
Nadeem's Halibut
My salmon

Of course I got up early for the keynote, even though I was booked in the WORLD’S LOUDEST HOTEL (and forgot I had earplugs until Friday night) which meant I kept waking up and having these feelings that a keynote without the possibility of seeing Steve Jobs wasn’t much of a keynote at all. Really, it wasn’t as good but it was pretty darn good anyway. My stupid faulty brain has turned the actuality into Tim Cook telling me that the new laptop was FABULOUS and so I got drunk and bought a FABULOUS new laptop the next night. It’s backordered, of course, and should arrive in July sometime. The teases at Apple have put the external optical drive in my hot little hands already, but what good is the drive without my FABULOUS new laptop? By the way, the night of the keynote (Monday night if you’re keeping track) was the last night Megan was still in town, so here’s what was for dinner.




I’m looking for the bottle in the middle.

I didn’t take may more pictures of dinners until Friday at La Mar with the horrible, horrible view and hanging out with a guy I only see once a year. Great guy to hang out with, even though he’s a Hurricanes fan.


What a week! I can’t wait to do it again.

  1. Someday they will invent a credit card that you have to breathe onto and it will take your blood alcohol level before you are allowed to make a purchase. I’m not sure whether this will help the economy or not!

  2. The burgers look yummy.
    Maybe the retina display mbp will live up to the hype and price? I’m waiting for the next relevant iMac bump and a non-Samsung current gen o/s smart phone with LTE on Verizon. The wait has been long. It’d be nice if it has decent battery life.
    You should check out Central Computers next time you’re around SF. Fun stuff http://www.centralcomputers.com

  3. Glad that I got 2 days with you! I can’t wait to see your FABULOUS new machine! LA was a korean food fest…you would have liked it. Come again soon!
