Just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be in San Francisco on December 8th and 9th. I had wanted to make it to Manic Monday, I mean Mobile Monday, but my schedule was already set.
But, ever the clever guy, Russ suggested I just let everyone know that I will be in San Francisco and that they can meet up with me (I’ve never done this before, though it seems a regular blogger thing to do).
I still haven’t decided on a bar to meet at, since I do not know the city that well, but I do know that it will be on December 8th in the evening (around 7pm?). Once I know the place, I will mention it right here. Feel free to suggest a place, especially if it has good beer and burgers (I’d like to eat something there). FWIW, I’m staying at a hotel near Union Sq.
Why come? Well, I don’t have any goodies, but I could bring a Nokia 6630 and a Nokia 7710 for everyone to fondle. 
And, if there’s interest enough, I could show Lifeblog 1.5 (I don’t usually walk around with my laptop) and maybe give out beta copies.
Of course, it’s not all about me. I’d really like to meet up with all of you and see and hear about the things from the mobile world that make you stay up late and wake up early.

What a small world. Enjoy SF! Sorry, I can’t make it to SF in December, but will be there from 1/02 to 1/18 for MacWorld Expo. There are tons of great places to meet in SF, but as you are in a Hotel near Union Square, I would recommend a nice Italian place directly on the street that goes up from Union Sq, where the cable car is going, maybe two blocks up on the left corner. I think it was called Uncle Vito, but I may be wrong. And afterwards you should walk to the new part of the St.Francis Hotel and take the glass elevator to the top floor. Hilarious, t
o see, especially, if you had some alcohol before. BTW: Since a few weeks I finally do my daily blog, all via email from one of my PalmOS phones, this now directly from sunny GranCanaria. Take a look. You will find something on the Nokia 6630 as the first UMTS phone good enough to be criticised…

Since you are staying near Union Square, may I suggest that we meet at Jillian’s in the SONY Metreon which is about 4 blocks from Union Square. The place is spacious and you can get food and drink there. Let me know, I’d love to talk and fool around with the phones…
As I’ve said before, if I blogged about everything I did in real time,
