GDC '10

I'm in San Francisco, CA right now for the Game Developers Conference and its a lot of fun. I got here on Wednesday night and I'm leaving on Sunday morning. I only have one day left at the conference now. I came to San Francisco for a vacation and I came to the conference for information. Staying with my friend Rob is great, we've gone to a lot of different restaurants around town and explored the city even more than the last time I was here in 2008.

On the first night, we went to Marnee Thai on Irving St, not as good as Sabai but it was pretty good. Then the next day it was Udipi Cafe near Potrero, great dosas. And today, we went to Spices II on Clement St, I had the Bamboo Skin and Tofu which was OK but not very spicy. I've gotten used to the bus system here now, I can catch the bus to and from the Moscone Center with no problems. But walking up and down the steep hills is still pretty painful.

The conference itself has been pretty good so far. I've learned a lot from most of the talks, and met a few new people. I may post my notes from some of the talks on my blog if I get around to it. The most important things I've learned have to do with game design which is something I'm not that good at yet. Game design is not really something I would want to do full-time, I'm still an engineer at heart, but its something I'd like to be involved in. Especially with this next iPhone project I'm working on which is something my brother and I came up with together. I want to make sure we create a great experience so I'm learning from the best.

Well I should probably get some rest now. Hopefully I can meet up with some people tomorrow before I have to leave.
