  So, last night started with big plans, most of which were achieved with great success. We started out at urlLink Beach for a few drinks to wind down after another super geeky day (more actual technical content... soon).
The plan was to head to the Microsoft urlLink Influencers party at urlLink Dick's Last Resort , and then eventually head to the urlLink MOM Party at the urlLink San Diego Zoo .
It sounded genuinely cool, and I thought it'd be funny to see the nerds drooling at Jessica Simpson with Nick Lachey pouting in the background. Oh well. Read about that at urlLink someone else's blog . Hanging out with the academics, Microsofties, and other folks proved to be so much fun that we just stayed there for the night. I love to hear all the cool things other folks are doing in collaboration with Microsoft. People were really interested in what we're doing, and I think some of them are even gonna make the pilgrimage to Ithaca.
Being on the roof at Dick's is great - you can see all the action on 5th Street. Of course, with it being Resa and myself out on the town, the night wasn't quite over yet. We finished things off with martinis at the urlLink strip club , again.
