Today I took another full-day outing with Bryan Veloso and Phil Freo. We had just planned to go superkarting (think fast go-karts) but one thing led to the next and we went all over the San Jose/Palo Alto area. I’ll let the pictures do the talking this time.. but after lunch at Oakridge Mall and then superkarting in Burlingame we saw FaceBook and Azureus HQ in Palo Alto and ended up at BlogHer to meetup with Will Pate (Flocker). The only thing I regret is forgetting to bring my buttons to hand out to people I met.
The Hyatt in San Jose where the BlogHer conference was held.
We were able to snatch a picture with Robert Scoble, the famous blogger, ex-Microsoft employee and now Podtech.net employee.
If you are EVER at any tech conference, definitely try to find Will Pate. He goes to every conference and therefore knows just about everyone.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

lol, northern CA is god but most of south CA isent so great. I just moved to roswell well enjoy your trip to CA.
Nice. Azureus and Facebook thats awesome. California is awesome. Did you snatch some In-and-Out? I miss In-and-Out the most!
We went to In-N-Out for dinner. =)
Your buttons are tiny. You need to make 2 inch plus buttons. ;)
Haha, find me an affordable place that makes them. Mammoth Printshop only does 1inchers.
We’ve gotta get jobs in San Francisco… I’ve travelled there for Apple conferences and love being there all the time. What made you choose Mammoth Printshop over others printers like CafePress or Spreadshirt?
Friends have used it before with excellent results.
You seriously need a haircut. Lol!
Tommy I concur, Stammy is in dire need of a haircut. Looks like you are having a blast over there. I need to uproot California and put it closer to the East coast like say in place of Alabama, tired of living days away from the Tech mecca.
I missed you at BlogHer. Lot’s of folks showed up for the cocktail parties only, I assume that’s what you did?
So Pirillo got married again, eh. I used to subscribe to his newsletters but he got to be such an arrogant twit.
Your pics remind me of the time when I was your age, a couple decades ago, that I had my pic taken in front of TSR headqtrs (think D&D). My geek friends back at college thought it was pretty cool…heh, heh.
I enjoy your blog quite a bit. You write good headlines. Hope your Cali adventure is great!
Paul, if you get to So. Ca, let me know lunch is on me.
Of course.. I leave and all the fun begins!
Heh Im kidding. Glad you guys had fun :)
Living vicariously in California through your blog : )
Azureus has a HQ? I would have thought it’d be under the name Aelitis.
