So here I am standing in the middle of a convention floor at some random internet kiosk that I finally hacked to let me out to the ‘net to type this out. . .

More interesting posts to come, but for now, just blogging just to take a break.

Shop.org has to be the “best looking” tech conference I’ve ever been to. For one, the male/female ratio is close to 50%. Furthermore, since majority of the conference goers are far from the valley geek types like me, the demographics are very different beyond gender as well. I say half of the people here are internet or multi-channel executives of major offline brands like Gap, Tommy Hilfilger, Polo, Anthropology, Tiffany’s, etc. . . Given their back ground in fashion and luxury goods, it was not surprising the amount of “good-looking” people here on the convention floor. And Just in case someone accuse me of being sexist, this applies equally to the male and female gender. For example, I’ve never seen this many pairs of flat front khakis, fitted trousers, and multi-colored stripped bottom shirt in one convention floor . . ever . . . I almost feel like I’m walking around SOHO shopping for shoes . . .
