Welcome to Virginia Beach!
Michael, the host
Andy, a colleague
What did that girl do to get this electronic shackle?
Cheers! Totally hand-made strawberry margarita instead of a ready-mixed one in a gallon bottle...
American BBQ with some vegetarian flavor
Finally, there *are* bicycle paths in Virginia ;-)
At the Oceanfront
"Neptun", by the way...
Andy in action, reloaded
Jet-sighting :-(
Has anybody noticed the jet!?
Here is another one... Next time's idea: to get at least one jet on every picture taken in VA Beach at daytime - unfortunately no problem...
We are all made of wood... and more...
The residency
I only thought they exist in movies...
...that one!
Private Audi TT airport shuttle
Enjoy your domestic flight!
Interesting lecture for minors
Some rockies
Close to San Francisco
Finally arrived in San Francisco
I think I saw someone spreading that message at this location last year, too...
"Tunnel Down"
Very recommendable!
Above Union Square on the sky-terrace of the "Cheesecake Factory"
Union Square
San Francisco Streetcars
Better leave before getting attacked ;-)
Ops, I decided to rent a bike
The other side of the bridge
Serpentines, luckily only downhill at this moment
Who expected this: A single-lane tunnel with bidirectional bike lanes! Saves a lot of uphill-cycling...
Ken and his daughters, my incidental cycling guides from San Francsico. I really did not expect residents to cycle, but now I know better.
The fabulous four on top of the Coit Tower.
Lombard Street (the only serpentine-style street, mostly occupied by tourists).
Streets of San Francisco
Trip to the Apple HQ
Been there :)
Being there without shopping for souvenirs means not having been there ;-)
Car-centric service-orientation everywhere...
Working hard...
...for exceptional shots
Still affordable for Europeans (prices per gallon)
"Soiree" on the day before the conference (Sunday) (from 5 to 8, yeah)
Nevertheless: tired at 7 a.m.
Finally inside the building, but still queuing to attend the keynote.
Monday evening: the next party (presented by the people from Delicious Library)
Just have a discreet look at the distance from the floor...
Some random people (...) attending a random session out of 150 or so, probably on Tuesday ;-)
Tuesday evening: next party (ars technica & gizmodo)
Hopefully no confidential content in this snapshot ;-)
"Enjoying" lunch at the roof-top terrace of Moscone West
Wednesday evening: in-house entertainment by Apple
Thursday evening: the famous WWDC bash @ Yerba Buena Gardens
An endless queue at the gentlemen's point of relieve...
Just can't get enough!
Party's over at 9:30 p.m. - "no extra time", says this friendly Apple security officer
No wonder: you can not use up all ice cubes on such a short event, so trash them...
A rescuer!
Hmmm... Are they harmless in other states!?
The Marriott at 4th Street
View from the Marriott's sky-lounge on the 43rd or so floor
Last chance to get food at the end of the conference...
...and fruits!
Closing time...
...really!
A special-editon streetcar
At the ferry building
Almost starving
Getting buzzed for feeding
Some artificial and plastic-like cheese inside...
Critically inspecting the so-called veggie burger...
Just hungry
At least someone likes his food!
Trying to get to the beach...
...discovering an underground train...
...which surfaces and drives directly to the beach!
BBQ @ the beach
Dutch windmill in the Golden Gate Park
Strange trees
Who invents all those funny signs!?
Big tree
Watch out for ruins...
Japanese Tea Garden
Inside...
Is this still beautiful?
Saturdy night: The pub tour. 1: "Tunnel Top"
Regular guests ;-)
2: Vesuvio
3: Kells. They seriously close at 2 a.m., even on Saturdays!
But everybody got enough...
Just opened: The Frida Kahlo exhibition
Luckily passing the endless queue
Leaving San Francisco
The unscheduled stop-over with lots of homeless baggage...
...and a hotel voucher...
...uh, we are stuck in NYC
But why the hell did they accomodate us at the end of the world!? :)
On the way to Manhattan
Welcome to Manhattan!
Endless Times Square
Central Park
Feeling home
Sony Center
Ground Zero
The usual suspects...
Short-term parking is not really affordable...
Hey, a beach between the bridges!
Byebye... Final destination: AC
