Taking place in San Jose, CA, this was without a doubt one of the best SES conferences that I’ve attended to date. In addition, this was also my first trip out to the west coast... which made the whole thing extra special.
While in bright and sunny California, I attended many informative day-seminars, and partook in some very eventful evenings, including those sponsored by FindWhat, Google, and Yahoo!. There was never a dull moment on this trip. Enjoy the pictures.

Michael Roebuck also trying out this really cool jet-ski racing game. You can bet that I finished with better scores, although, he did beat me in a game of air hockey, in which we had placed a very "high-stakes" bet on.
