Where 2.0: Location, Location, Location

tomorrow the 30th of May is the last day to attend the Where conference in San Jose!

"It is an unconference where the attendees drive the content of the sessions the day of instead of having a prescribed schedule and set of content. Therefore, the event is what you make of it, and is only as fun as the people who attend."

that's the description from the website (oh i mean wiki) about it. Can you tell it's happening on the West Coast?

still. Maybe you should go just to meet Steven Johnson.
