Created two new address book groups “MinneBar Pings” and “MinneDemo Pings” so I remember to nag people to get to events.

MinneBar 6 Photos

Yesterday was an absolutely great MinneBar event. I lugged the big camera around to get some shots. I didn’t get that many because I presented for the first three sessions. I got some good shots from the kick-off and a handful of others.

Group of people waiting in line outside a modern building entrance, casting long shadows on the concrete sidewalk. Crowd of attendees waiting in a lobby near a reception desk and large windows at a conference event. Several people standing around blue-draped registration tables in a building lobby, reviewing printed papers and signing in. Rows of folded gray MinneBar t-shirts with an orange graphic logo laid out on a table at a conference event. Gray t-shirts stacked on a table, printed with an orange MinneBar MMXI logo featuring a city skyline and cartoon figures.

A couple of months ago we were at my Aunt Susie’s house and she had this bottle of wine with a very memorable name. Made me chuckle. 😀

Bottle of Sweet Bitch smooth and fruity Merlot wine with a womans face on the label, sitting on a dining table.

Hotel WiFi is significantly worse than Personal Hotspot via iPhone. I’m surprised how often I’m using personal hotspot.

I spent the night at the Rosewood this week for an overnight trip to Palo Alto. Beautiful grounds and great view from the room.

Balcony railing overlooking manicured lawns, pool umbrellas, cypress trees, and a large stone resort building under a clear blue sky.
