	Phil's Blogservations Monday, April 26, 2004 Posted by philgomes 7:00 PM Making The Most Out Of The Drive Making The Most Out Of The Drive I choose to live in Alameda. Save for the presence of Wind River Systems, it's hardly a tech mecca. I live and work here because the pace is nice, it's not terribly expensive, I have a great live/work environment, it's equidistant from the places I need/want to be, and the area simply suits my temprament. In any case, as the cover of an Industry Standard edition once said, "On The Internet, No One Knows You're In Nebraska." In that spirit, choosing to live within one area code of 408/650/415 is hardly isolating. As people familiar with the Bay Area might guess, this sometimes means that I will occassionally take quite a bit of time to hop into my car or BART to get to a meeting, lecture gig, or whatever. Now that CNET Radio is no longer broadcasting on 910AM — a crime compounded by the new management's decision to stop syndicating Larry "The Sage From South Central" Elder in favor of Michael Savage — I no longer have the kind of in-transit access to tech-focused business news and commentary that I was used to. Fortunately, IT Conversations came to the rescue. I download their MP3 interviews with tech opinion leaders regularly. Occasionally, I will burn several to CD to play in the car. Today, on the way to a talk at my alma mater, I'll be listening to: Jon Udell Dan Gillmor Mary Jo Foley Phil Zimmermann All of this fits comfortably into an 80-minute CD, which I anticipate is what I'll need to keep me entertained while driving to Moraga during rush-hour. Anyway... Gotta hop. Back tomorrow.
