I participated in my first photo-walk tonight. I joined Thomas Hawk, his lovely wife, Dave Sifry, Robert Scoble, Ian Crane and a bunch of other nice folks in a trek around San Francisco.

We shot several places in and around the financial district, and had dinner at Osha.

It was fun, and I learned a lot by watching some of the talented photographers in attendance.

We just got home from a weekend at the Hill Country Hyatt in San Antonio.  I spoke at a conference there yesterday, so we went up Friday and made a weekend out of it.

It’s one of our favorite nearby vacation spots.  Highly recommended for families.

Behind the pool is a large, circular river, called appropriately the lazy river, where you can tube in a circle for hours on end.  We did.  It’s impossible to overstate how cool and fun the lazy river is.

Cassidy helps Delaney figure out the newer,
but more difficult HP.

Even though the HP has a much bigger screen and much better speakers, Cassidy and Delaney both strongly prefer my trusty Thinkpad for their (very limited) web surfing.  When I asked them why, they said they like the trackpoint better than the touchpad.

Me too.
