Keynote has been started. I can listen Steve’s voice through several live site. I’m checking TWiT Live right now, but it doesn’t work well. I went Ustream.TV to listen clear audio. It’s amazing how many people are on-line right now.
Reliable sound comes from http://www.ustream.tv/
Reporter in ustream.tv introduce us which site has latest photo from stage. Everybody stay on-line and followed keynote from there. It’s nice to see Keynote in my eye at convention center. But this on-line live allow me to experience same time frame without standing in the line early in the morning. Smooth streaming live is great:)

SD forum held 2nd conference of “Teen Plugged In” at HP on Tuesday May 13th. This event is fun to hear what teens are thinking and see their energies toward to future. There is plenty of potential, so I was looking forward to attend this event.
This year’s high school students were so mature. It was very interesting to hear that “e-mail never die because that is professional”. Adults were talking about SNS or text messages are going to replace e-mail, but teenagers who experience facebook and myspace in the panel said opposite way. Audience wondered how rest of the teen think about it.
Another thing I noticed that their parents taught them how to behave on line well. They believe if they publish something on line that gonna be there forever. That is true. If someone Google my name, they can see my personal information. They are smart because of their parents???
One young CEO, Anshul Samar from Elementeo was back to the stage with his nice presentation prepared by Power Point. He looks grown up within year. Last year he looks like Kids, but this year he wore suit to be on the stage and had nice Presentation material. Both Company and Anshul are growing very fast!! Here is a company information : http://www.elementeo.com/

My family left SFO this morning. Hope they enjoy their time in here.
This was brief schedule for them.
- 1st day: Arrive at SFO – Yosemite National Park
- 2nd day: Yosemite National Park
- 3rd day: Napa Valley
- 4th day: San Francisco
- 5th day: Silicon Valley
^
I have to tell this travel was different from usual my experience. First, I waited 2 hours to pick them up at SFO when they arrived. Custom department people randomly grab several group to investigate and my sister was there. My family couldn’t come out from inside and I didn’t have chance to know what’s going on there. I thought delay was the sister who moves very slowly all the time. But it wasn’t. It was unexpected accident…
Well, we finally meet each other and went to my room. They unpacked their languages and we went ahead to Yosemite National Park. I stopped at Pea Soup Andersen’s restaurant for rest and arrived at National Park before dark.
^^
Second day, we enjoyed Yosemite National Park until early afternoon. We had breakfast at Ahwahnee hotel, visited Visitor Center and hiking to Miller Lake. It was misty morning, road of Glacier Point was closed. I stopped at Mariposa Grove but everybody was so sleepy that time, so I didn’t take a tram tour. After that we were headed to Gilroy Outlet Store. They stayed one store for hour and half… isn’t that amazing??? After that shopping, we went Vaso Azzurro Ristorante, Italian Restaurant I introduced in this blog before, in Mountain View. That turned out nice dinner.
^^^
Third day: We took a guided tour of Scharffen Berger Chocolate Factory and had branch at their cafe in the morning. That was so nice. I kept going to Domaine Carneros Winery for tasting in Napan. After this winery, we had some time to get Wine Train for dinner, so we went shopping (again). Two of my younger sister never get tired to go shopping. We stayed Hotel in downtown San Francisco at night.
^^^^
Fourth day: Our day start at 11AM this day. Hotel was comfortable to have rest, everybody over slept. We had slow morning that day. Our lunch was at Slanted Door in Ferry Building. After that we separate group until 4PM. One group have slow walking and other was running around. I was tired from driving, so I went back to my room and let my sisters to take a train to come back.
^^^^^
Fifth day: It turned to another shopping day. I took them Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Longs Drug, Stanford University and Stanford Shopping Center in the morning. We rested at Hong Kong Restaurant for lunch. Then we went Great mall and Santana Row. Last meal was Mexican dinner at Santana Row. Then final shopping was at Safeway.
Time flies so fast while somebody staying with me. My fun weekends is over!
