You’ve Got Ismail!

Khare’s car saves my bacon…

May 5th, 2006

After IIW on Tuesday sitting at the official dinner in Mountainview, I did some train checking and found out there was no train that would get me back to SFO for my flight back.   I was, to put it mildly, irked.   I think a reasonable person expects a train system at 7pm on a weekday to operate with more frequency than 90 mins.   For a New Yorker, it boggles the mind.

Anyway, I called resident expert Rohit Khare to get a taxi number and he incredibly graciously drove me to the airport.   Actually, Smruti-his -better-half drove.   God bless those two.

Aside from the maniacal nature of yet another travel adventure, IIW as an unconference was excellent.   Kaliya did a great job facilitating 150 techies through a couple of dozen workshops, the content was compelling and selfishly, about 10 people that I’ve been wanting to connect with were there.  The capuccino bar was the icing on the cake (what a great idea).

Thanks Kaliya, Doc & Phil for a putting together a great event.   Kim Cameron summarizes it nicely….
