Sports @ SJSU Growing?

I not a sports buff, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I'm just a geek. But this article today from College Hotline and this one from the Merc caught my attention - strange whispers of a stadium getting built near campus with some real promise of expanding SJSU's image across the Bay and beyond.

More attention, even in sports, would mean more revenue for the school, and possibly more opportunities for students. I'm not saying the deal would necessarily be the right thing for the school, but I'd definitely like to hear more.

Your Mac Life

Burke (from Axis.ds) and I met Shawn King from Your Mac Life after Diggnation ended at the expo. Shawn invited us to the afterparty at the Great American Music Hall last night. Lots of fun - great food (excellent chocolate) - great bar (open, of course) - and lots of interesting conversation.

Oh, and did I mention that Paul Kent, IDG's World Expo VP IN CHARGE OF MACWORLD, sang in a rock/blues/funk band. Who said that geeks can't jam?
Happy Anniversary to Shawn, again. He got married at the Your Mac Life after party last year!

I'll have all my pics from the party up on flickr later today, as well as a couple videos from the conference.

Best line of the after party from Burke: "Drew... I think I'm drunk."
Best response from me: "Yes, Burke... yes you are."
