Here’s a short (4 min) excursion down into one of San Francisco’s subway systems, BART. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system connects much of the Bay Area and is probably the best way to get into the city from the airports.
We’re in San Francisco now and every day presents new wonders. Today was something else. I had the fortune of getting together with some folks from Yahoo!, SFSU, OurMedia and Outhink. I can’t even begin to share what we are talking about except to say it’s very exciting and has great potential for the Videoblogging community. Right as we were really getting down to some interesting talks, we realized that we were being overwhelmed by the sound of drums. This is the sort of thing that happens here and you’d better be prepared if you want to capture things like this.
Tommorrow is Friday and the Vloggercon Volunteer meetup. It will be good to see everyone again. I can’t wait to see you in two weeks. Yeah, you.

Here’s a picture of Yahoo! Videoblogging Group co-founder Jay Dedman participating in one of the many discussions. You can find a great collection of photo’s on Flickr here.
