A very Intense, Never-ending, Fruitful Week

I'm glad I came to New York. After a few days here, I've done a bunch of things, but more importantly, I've met many interesting people. It's been very tiring, although it has definitely worth coming.

Yesterday night, for instance, I met @damog and @maggit for dinner (two old friends who moved to live over here). It was quite a long time since the last time we met in Mexico City, so it was great to hang out with them for a while. As you can imagine, dinner ended up late, so I didn't have much sleep time.

Today, I woke up early to attend the The New York Open Coffee Club Meetup. I must admit that, when the alarm clock rang I kind of hesitated for a while whether or not it was worth attending. My proactive side battled his villain (my lazy side). I'm glad it won, so I finally went to have a coffee with such an interesting group of people. The things I liked the most about the meeting were: first, the open-minded discussion, and second, the diversity. Even though we all were into technology, there were no two people working on the same stuff. My recommendation, if you have the chance, drop by for one of these informal meeting.

Tomorrow will be another pretty interesting - and I presume, intense - day. I will be attending Times Open at the New York Times headquarters. It is a one day long, invitation-required, developer focused conference. Tim O'Reilly will be the keynote guess speaker, and the open.nytimes.com team will be attending as well. Doesn't it look like a hell of a good plan? It certainly does for me.

So.. as I've already said, it's being a very intense, never-ending, and fruitful week. Though, the best thing is, I forecast many other good times to come before I head back next week. :-)
