Hey readers!

As I’m sure most of you noticed, due to a very busy week and internet problems, unlike what I had planned, there have been no blogs, podcasts or just about anything else.  I have been in San Francisco since Sunday night for the TechCrunch50 conference (which is amazing) and I am exhausted.  The trip out here was a very long adventure in itself, something I will try to write about later in the day.  Long story short, it involved lots of time in the air and a couple hour shuttle ride, so it will be worth the read when I post about it.

While I can’t say I’m very impressed with San Francisco, this is an amazing conference.  I really believe in what they are trying to accomplish with this conference.  There have been a few companies that have presented that I’m not impressed with but there are a few companies that have nothing short of an amazing product.  I will be posting about them and my thoughts on the Global Geek News Blog starting today.

As fun as this has been, with all the travel, early mornings and late night parties, I am ready to crash.  My flight isn’t until Saturday afternoon but I am really considering canceling that flight and just leaving tomorrow.  I have been looking forward to the Nightwish concert on Friday and already have my tickets, but I am ready to go home.

A huge thanks to Jason Calacanis for inviting me to the conference as it has been an amazing experience!

More to come later today and don’t forget to check out the Global Geek News Blog for more about the TechCrunch50 and the companies that have been presenting here!

TechCrunch50 trip is a go!

Hey everybody!

I come bringing good news!  I am going to the TechCrunch50!  Thanks to a generous offer I received to pay for my flight to San Francisco for the TechCrunch50 Conference, I am now going to the conference!  Due to the huge jump in price that airfare has taken over the past few days, I reluctantly booked my flight on Priceline.  Normally I hate using services like that as I prefer to know who am flying with and the times of my flight before I purchase tickets.  The times or airline that I got are not what I wanted but they will work.  I will be flying with American Airlines.  I will be flying out much later than I had hoped and flying back much later than I had hoped with a stop at LAX both ways.

I figure I will survive either way, I will just be a bit more tired than I would like.  I am also going to the Nightwish concert next Friday in San Francisco if anybody is interested in going.  Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you would like to go.  Its going to be an amazing concert as I already saw them back in June.

I’m very excited, I cant wait!
