San Francisco

I've was in San Francisco for almost a week! I went there for the Facebook f8 conference that I mentioned earlier. The exciting news that they announced was the whole Facebook Platform, a interface for developers to make applications directly embedded in their website. This leads the way for endless possibilities, all with instant access to 24 million regular Facebook users... that is 12 million daily (and growing).

In the week since the conference I have already made an application for Facebook that has nearly 3000 users! I've already made $18 from advertising as well. woohoo! I have many more ideas that I can't share until they are implemented though..

San Francisco is absolutely gorgeous... I don't believe I've missed out on that my whole life... I guess I can't complain because I have seen all of Europe, unlike most Americans... I mean, most Floridians haven't ever seen snow... so I have had a great life, but now my life is even better after seeing San Fran!

The first 2 nights Kyle and I stayed downtown in the Marriot. Smack-dab in the middle of the city. On Friday we walked from our hotel, all the way through China town, and finally to the Fisherman's Wharf... This had to have been one of the longest walks of my life... it was up one of the steepest hills I've ever climbed...

We saw almost all of downtown on this never ending walk... On the docks there was lots of entertainment, including some break dancers. We had some great food while we were there as well... As of right now, San Fran is close to being my favorite city in the US (that I have been to)... Lincoln Nebraska might still top it, but only for it's cool, cheap, housing... and being in the state that brought the world somebody as wonderful as myself...

We'll see how things go, but I am definitely hoping to end up there someday.
