The Zebra has landed

July 21, 2008 |

Today, I arrived in San Francisco for RE Barcamp and Inman Connect SF 2008.  This is the first time I have ever been to San Francisco.  The first thing that I discovered is that it is much colder than I expected, or dressed for.  Oops.

I’ll be here all week.  If you are going to be around for Connect SF ‘08, here are some tips to help make your experience a good one.

And here is a video I made while my flight was landing.  Really, it was just a way for me to test out our new point & shoot digital camera: the Panasonic Lumix TZ5.  It shoots HD video.  I also took some still pics.

The video is 4 minutes, and it isn’t exactly riveting, but I think the commentary is pretty decent :-)

    Hey Daniel,

    Great to meet you at long last in person tonight. Very much looking forward to the weeks events. Nice little camera. I’m gonna have to check that out at some point. I need a smaller point and shoot with some power.

    Uh, Zebra? What part of “turn off and stow all electronic devices” did you not understand?

    Daniel,
    Awesome that you’re in SF with a new digital cam! I was just writing to suggest you check out HDR photography for shots like you have of “Panorama” on the Strong web site. I recently bought the Panasonic DMC-FZ18. It supports the function you need to do HDR. If you see this while you are in SF, you should get some wildly interesting shots!!

    Nancy and I will be down next week. Got Lewis Black tix in Richmond for next Thursday.

    Enjoy your conference!!

    Brad,

    It was awesome to meet you, too. Great recommendation on the Thai food, btw.

    Ben,

    I was a bad, bad zebra. The flight attendants never said anything though.

    Steve,

    Good to hear from you! We have done some HDR stuff, you might have noticed it in the pic of that $1M waterfront. I am going to try and get some awesome shots while I’m in SF.

    Give me a call when you are in town next week. Have fun with Lewis Black!

    Return your camera, get a v570 on ebay. You won’t regret it. My 8th one should arrive tomorrow!
