Next week Rocky Barbanica and I will be in Australia. Come visit us next Tuesday evening.

My own letter to OpenStack management about the future of the cloud. In response to one Randy Bias wrote.

The public can't get into PARC. Steve Jobs did and took what he learned and built the Macintosh.

Here I take you on a tour of the Innovation Exhibit there thanks to Google Glass.

Oh, and who showed me around? Mike Kuniavsky, cofounder of Adaptive Path, among other companies.

Nergasm ensues!

Damn I love visiting PARC. (Where ethernet, laser printing, object oriented programming, and what eventually became the Macintosh was invented).

What are they doing now? Contextual computing. Printable circuitry. Better batteries, and more.

Here's my first report, about printable circuitry. More coming all week long. Whenever you get inside PARC your head buzzes for a week.

Major takeaway?

Innovation isn't dead and neither is Silicon Valley.

Big day tomorrow. Gonna visit PARC.

That's where Steve Jobs visited, saw the future, and got many of the ideas for the original Macintosh.

The first piece of Ethernet is still in the wall in the copy room there.

It never regained the position it had back in the early 1980s but it still is one of the most important R&D labs in the world.

Wonder what I'll see? I will shoot lots of stuff with Google Glass.

Later in the week we head to Sydney, Australia to hang out with startups there.

In the middle of the week I'll be speaking at the PR Summit and am doing a ton of interviews.

Oh, and I hear a new phone will arrive this week too (I have already seen it and it is a game changer).

Big week ahead!

It's not often that I recommend a video that isn't mine. This is one of those times. Nikola Danaylov did a wonderful job interviewing Thad Starner, who is the big brain behind Google Glass.

This is well worth your hour.

Google+ makes the grandparents move. Is this the killer feature that gets the mass market to use Google+ more?

Maryam Ghaemmaghami Scoble, Sharon Bosley, Bill Scoble, you should check this one out since you all are in these photos!

It is date night.

I tell Maryam that I am leaving my Google Glass at home.

She looks at me with shock on her face and answers:

”Makes me wonder what you have planned for this date."

Heh.

Proof I am not Mark Zuckerberg. I am a few further rows back from where he will be sitting at tonight's concert with Justin Timberlake and Jay Z.
