I went to the Bay Area Startup & Dog Enthusiasts
meetup today between noon and 2 PM today, held at Fort Funston, San Francisco, something I had signed up for about a week ago.
It was a bit of struggle getting there. Let me explain. I no longer drive a car, so I ended up catching a taxi to the event, and our dog whiskers threw up in the car about half way there.
When we finally arrived I cleaned up the mess as I best I could (and gave generous tip to the driver for the trouble).
Today is a beautiful sunny day, we walked down a long path that finally led to a wide beach. After about 20 minutes of walking, we finally caught up with the group (it was about 12:30 or so when I finally caught up).
Had a very enjoyable time. Met two guys running
startups - Chris Wike (spotwag.com) & Peter Olfe (near2there.com).
About Spotwag.com (taken from spotwag.com's site):
"Coordinate help for your pet from friends you already trust, quickly
and easily with Spotwag. And never again feel pressure to leave your
pet with a stranger. Spotwag makes asking for help, or offering it easy
for everyone."
Near2there.com is a way to "bookmark" places you see while driving or walking around using your mobile phone.
Both are very interesting services and will probably utilize both in the near future.
