Showw me the way to San Jose

[sbisson]

So here I am, in San Jose, in a building that burnt down last time I stayed in this town.

I am not taking this as an omen. No, sir, not me. Especially as this is possibly the plushest hotel I've stayed in for a long time. Well, if you ignore the typical American hotel bath - which might best be described as an overgrown shower tray. Still, the view from up here on the top floor is excellent...

However, as this is Silicon Valley, the hotel is a geek's paradise. Not only is there free wired and wireless broadband, but the phone in my room is a Cisco IP Phone...

The flight over was good, especially with an upgrade to the top deck of the 747. However, apart from the excellent American Splendor, BA's films for January sucked. So I read a lot, dozed a lot, and listened to MP3s of Radio 4 on my iPod...

This evening I met up with rowanf, and we went round to mdlbear's regular Wednesday evening fannish get together. Good crack, good beer, good food, and strange pickles.

Will it surprise you to learn that they've sucked since November :-)

I love that part of the plane. It's like being in your own private jet, only 20 of you with your own crew. It's the best place to sleep in on the way back.

Explain yourself, sir! Do you own a RadioSHARK (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/radioshark/index.html)? If not, how are you recording these?

The inquiring minds of recent converts from Radio Five Live want to know!
