(Sorry so stale: had no connectivity in the past few hours). Well, just like Wednesday morning's sessions, it was hard to find much to write about in the final afternoon of Where 2.0. There was one standout presentation by Chris Spurgen of the Walt Disney Company. He gave a really rousing and cheeky review of the best geo-hacks in history. Essentially, it was a very entertaining look at Mercator (the man) and his genius of projection as well as the history of the biggest hack in geography...the ability to calculate longitude while sailing. It was awesome and Chris really had the audience very engaged. I wish I could say the same for the final speakers of the day but I can't.
Fortunately, the day ended on a great note after an eye opening walk through downtown San Francisco. Dave and I met up with an old friend and ate some of the best sushi we've ever had in a small sweaty local sushi bar on Market Street called Sushi Zone. In a nod to the coolness of some of the new Google Maps goodness, here's where you can find Sushi Zone if you're ever in SF:
