Phew, what a month!
After two weeks of the beautiful California sun and two weeks of hot summer in NYC, I just found myself back to California, sitting in the quiet club house and catching up on emails.
It was an amazing month with a lot of activities, started with AlwaysOn award ceremony at Standford. JoAnna likes to put this as: the award that didn't need our "marketing department" to do anything to win.
Doug was on the panel at the opening ceremony and he talked about FreeWheel's Beijing operation, it certainly generated interests from the audience.
This twitter like interactive screen is cool. I first saw it in China when attending tech conference a few years ago, a company called jiwai.de powered it, I thought it was so cool that it provides immediate feedback to the speaker. Was sad to see Jiwai.de got sold and shutdown later on. Seeing it here again at Standford made me feel like meeting an old friend.
Then it was two weeks of NYC started with the summit at our office. BTW: We are running out of space at NYC, will need to move soon...Take a closer look at this picture while you can, the next time I post summit event will be at somewhere else...Talking about fast-growing here!
One thing I remember so vividly during the summit is running around NYC at a hot summer afternoon during our scavenger hunt event. We were certainly sweating a lot, had a lot of fun too! This is my proud team. I do feel like we have some of the best pictures, even though we are not the winning team. Pretty close though!
Then we had a stylish client party at our NYC office, the food and snacks featured three FreeWheel-office-city theme. The drink of the night was called "Beijing Sling". Lori obviously won the most beautiful dress by a big margin for the night
Dancing revolution was a big hit at the party, a lot of people were playing, especially after a few drinks. I got David Adams playing the game with me, for the record, I did lose to him.
Somewhere in between, Jon took us to the famous Jewish deli that he has been talking about for years. Katz's Deli, we are finally here! I was amazed by all the pictures on the wall, it certainly tell a lot of stories about this hundred plus years restaurant.
The food turned out not as bad as Jon made us believe, or maybe everything just taste better with cheerful beer?
My personal favorite is the knish.
Arguing about product features with Jack on a sunny Saturday afternoon was a lot of fun. This picture was taken when he was annoyed of me couldn't understand his points
Of course nothing in comparison to the Frying Pan event in the following week, this was taken before I got too much of that fruity drink. Sometimes the most innocent is what gets you.
Such a fun month!...Now I need to get back to my emails

Haha, nice post, Diane! The thing impressed me the most about Katz's was its portion; one sandwich could probably feed an entire village in some developing country. I like Jack's picture and your caption
