This is the view from Jack’s back deck in Auburn. I love the fog in the valley, and it’s a beautiful day today.

- Grabbed @Foursquare 1.7 and @Gowalla 2.0 for iPhone this morning. Nice. I still hope for a unified checkin method. (Brightkite?) #

- @jtoeman having only seen that concentration of @foursquare users one other time (Ignite Portland 8), I call it significant. in reply to jtoeman #
- @jabancroft I know. Sometimes it's good to be reminded what a small world we geeks live in. in reply to jabancroft #
- Derp. That last tweet was @jtoeman. That's what I get for tweeting from the back of a hurtling airport shuttle van. #
- What they say about AT&T's network in San Francisco seems to be true. Took me four tries to get a call through to @rachelbancroft. #
