MWSF08 8-P

~~~




Hello, I'm a Mac.
" ... and I'm a ... Mac, too."
" ... and I'm ... a Mac."


The staff and management of The Nationals Post is at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco this week. While 10 billion Mac Geeks swarm around frothing about the new Mac laptop, we stand in a corner with one dude who is wearing an tattered Oakland A's cap. We are bitching about Billy Bean, Paul Lo Duca, and the designated hitter rule. This is easily the best conversation we've had all week, including our chats with corporate titans and California Girls.
It is 60ยบ and sunny here today. In the DC area, 2 to 6 inches of snow fell today, we hear from CNN and see on our iPhone. There is too much to see and do here, but we'd clearly prefer to be sledding or attending the Nats Winter Caravan events.





While here, at least we found some cool people at a small search engine company, who showed us an ultra cool new feature in Google Maps. 20 or so US cities now have STREET VIEW. We were able to look at the Indian Oven Restaurant by doing the following:

1) Go to Google Maps
2) Input the Indian Oven street address of 233 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA 94117
3) Click STREET VIEW in the top right corner.
4) Look at a pic of the restaurant.
Those guys are pretty neat, but I still prefer sledding with El and Ro.

That's wicked creepy. My house is on it. I'm glad I wasn't out peeing in the yard.

Sam flipped in the snow. A thing of stupid beauty.
