San Francisco

I had a cool three-day stay in San Francisco. I don’t care for the Warriors, but I do love the Bay Area.I watched a couple episodes of Silicon Valley on the flight down so I could better appreciate the innovation and brilliance surrounding me when we touched down…actually pretty surprised how far Pied Piper has come — I walked by the new HQ on Market Street……

Travel habit suggestion: watch a movie or show that sets the mood for the city: Tokyo Drift (Tokyo), (Drive) LA, Good Will Hunting/The Town (Boston), Hoosiers (Indiana), Rookie of the Year (Chicago)…

This time through I checked out the new Lucid car concept, which is supposed to compete with Tesla in the next year as a fully-electric, luxury sedan. I’m not a big car guy, but I am into design and aesthetic, so this car delivers. It has all the bells and whistles, just not sure if I’m ready to go fully autonomous. Let me know what y’all think of it.After that, I dropped by Facebook HQ which was really impressive. It’s a beautiful campus; everything is set-up for the convenience of the employees. Restaurants, dry cleaning, gym…whatever you can think of.My favorite part of the visit was seeing the old tech company logos that were left on the meeting room windows or around the buildings to remind the employees what can happen if you don’t continue to take risks and innovate. They also left the ceilings unfinished; apparently, Mark doesn’t want to promote the notion that they’ve arrived or made it.I think he just had enough with decision fatigue and then came up with the H&M line.

And yes, I watched The Social Network before I visited campus. Great movie. I am a fan of his.

Special thanks to Ryan and Liz Renneker for the tour.
