Partying at the Ritz

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Hey, Dave, wanna go to the beach?

Maryam and I drove to the Half Moon Bay Ritz last night and we marveled at the lifestyle of sitting around a campfire with people from around the world. Then I remembered: we’re gonna live here in a few weeks (our new house is walking distance away).

Anyway, we’ll be in our new house by August 26th, why don’t we meet at the beach?

Oh, all the rest of you? You wanna come too?

Speaking of fun geek events, the Montana “Off the Grid” campout on August 6-9 is definitely happening. So far about 30 people have said they are coming including several families. Now I gotta plan our day trips out.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

  1. Maybe now you can use one of those better pictures and update your log? The new Scoble looks trimmer and less dorky than the old Scoble!

  5. Sccoble,

    I would have moved to Montana, but that’s just me. Get way from it all… as long as you have a high-speed connection, one can live and theoretically work anywhere. If I could, I would get off the IT rat-race grid permanently. I considering my options now.

  7. Deke, sorry, there’s something about being in an area with lots of other geeks that energizes me and makes it easier to get things done. But Montana does have its attractions!

  9. Watch out, Robert… that Coastside lifestyle will get to you. You’re sitting there, watching the waves, sipping cappuccinos, having great conversations with interesting people. Before you know it, a couple of years have gone by, and you haven’t touched a keyboard. 😉 That’s how I left aerospace and started making Montara Magic chocolate sauces. But then I awoke, and started doing other things – though I never have left the ring of mushrooms that the coast can be.

  17. I will put it on my calendar, since you will be my neighbor.

    But HMB is far more soulful than the Ritz. With my cappucino, here in El Granada, often comes a guy who lives on a boat, or one who fishes for a living.

    What’s interesting is how they all have wireless Internet on the boats :-)There’s lots more to see. And yes, you can live down here and be mesmerized by it, but I spend half the day online anyway, no matter where I am.

  19. Gads!
    Immediately after “Off the Grid” camping Tanja and I are headed to Michigan to visit family and shoot a vlogspot on organic weddings (…as opposed to inorganic weddings?).

    Alas, even though it’s just a bridge away from home (Oakland), it looks like we’ll miss the beach party. If it goes well, perhaps it could be a semi-regular event?!

    We could always gather around the oil drum fire near our barb-wire ringed artists’ live-work factory! All welcome.
