Postcard from Edge of Macworld

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thanks for letting me come to San Francisco to visit Uncle Steve.
I am having fun and Uncle Steve said that maybe next year he'll let me sit on his lap when he does that
big speech thing in front of all those people.

The weather here has been ok. It rains a lot, which makes it difficult to get taxi cabs when you need to go somewhere.
Luckilly I have run into some really nice people. On Monday, Jonathan Korzen, Director of Public Relations for
Audible.com overheard me make some smart-alec comment about being a NY'er in San Francisco not being able to get a cab and he confessed he was a NY'er himself. Turns out we were heading to the same hotel so we shared a cab in true NY'er fashion. Then on Tuesday morning David Pogue graciously offered me a lift in his rental car. While we were waiting for the car, Jonathan came along and offered to be our designated backseat driver since neither David nor I knew the best way to get to the big convention center by car. It was a fun ride and we only had to go up 4 levels to find a parking spot in the garage.

Uncle Steve gave his big speech yesterday. I'm not sure, but I think people really liked what he had to say. He told them about some new toys his company is making. They are so cool! There's this really neat
USB stick that looks like Dad's fancy cigarete lighter – but it plays music and you can wear it around your neck like a necklace! Can I have one? They are also making this new little computer. It's called a mini me, or something like that. You know, like the
really short guy from that movie that the Wayne's World guy was in?
Anyway, it's pretty small and I think it would look really cool in my room. Can I have one? I promise to take care of it! They also have some new software that will help me make better
movies, edit my pictures,
play my music and make my book reports look really classy, like they were done by someone in high school even! There was some other stuff too but I was getting bored.

I was up late past my bedtime last night because of some
parties that I didn't want to miss. I know I should have been in bed, but I really liked hanging out with the grownups so I hope you won't ground me when I get home. Oh well. I
have to go for now but I promise to write again soon. I
took a bunch of pictures so you can see what I've been up to. I hope you like them!
