You're right, It was pretty dumb. What wasn't dumb though: The 11 inch Organic Display HDTV. I've never seen video quality that looked this good. 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

But I can't find her blog. The food was good--skewered meat. Nobody but me seemed to like the chicken cartilage (they look like nose bones) so I had them all to myself. It took a while to settle the check, so I missed the last train home and sacked out in the office again. No big deal. I'm used to it.

Was there a diverse group of people like, more than just Japanese people? So did you enjoy the food and drink?

Was there a diverse group of people like, more than just Japanese people?

It was just a bunch of techie and blogger-type people getting together in a restaurant to eat and drink. BTW, last night's meetup wasn't a presentation.

I still have my small LG and I'm fine with that. Well your not doing bad Rich, you have kids whom you love and vice versa. Your job is good, well I assume. Your a smart guy Rich and you take the time to share it with us. Those are very popular right now, a lot of two-handed texting going on with those. I still have my small LG and I'm fine with that.

I like the phones with slide-out keyboards, but not enough to spend the money to get one myself. I'll always go for the best 1 yen phones I can find, even if they're technologically a year or so behind the times. It was nice to spend a few hours with like-minded people, albeit most of them were a heck of a lot more intelligent, well-off and well-connected than me. I think it's good to try to surround yourself with successful, happy people and try to learn a little from them.

So what other products did they have there? Was there anything your were particularly interested in? Well that's pointless. So what other products did they have there?
