September Mobile Monday Tonight! Mobile Photos!

Posted on Monday, September 12th, 2005 10:15 AM

A new record in lateness... This is what happens when I promise Mike "I'll handle it this month, no worries..." Tonight's Mobile Monday meetup is being held at Yahoo! The topic is Mobile Photos and Imaging and these great people have agreed to speak:

• Erik Weitzman, Shutterfly (http://www.shutterfly.com)
• Heather Champ, Flickr (http://www.flickr.com)
• Rich Gossweiller, HP Labs/Plog (http://www.richgossweiler.com/projects/Plog/PLOGPage.htm )
• Chris Dury, ScanR (http://www.scanr.com)
• Mike Prynce, Mobido (http://www.mobido.com)

(That list may flux a bit as I've done as good a job at confirming speakers as I have notifying you, but most are confirmed). And of course, we'll have the Elmo in case anyone would like to give an impromptu demo of something they're working on. Here's the map and directions to Yahoo!

 

You can find the official directions here, which I'll reprint here so you have it:

Where:

Yahoo! Inc. 701 First Avenue Sunnyvale, California 94089 Phone (408) 349-3300

When:

Monday, September 12th, 7:00 p.m.

Directions:

From San Jose:

• Take 101 North and exit on Mathilda Avenue.
• Turn right on Mathilda and continue to First Avenue (also marked as Bordeaux on the right).
• Make a left on First Avenue.
• Make first right into Yahoo! parking lot. Building D (701) is the first building on the right side.

From San Francisco:

• Take 101 South and exit onto 237 east (Alviso/Milpitas exit).
• Merge onto 237 and exit immediately toward Mathilda Avenue.
• Turn left onto Mathilda Avenue and continue to First Avenue (also marked as Bordeaux on the right).
• Make a left on First Avenue.
• Make first right into Yahoo! parking lot. Building D (701) is the first building on the right side.

(If you miss the 237 exit off 101 South, continue to Lawrence Expressway North exit. Turn left and continue on Lawrence Expressway North, which turns into Caribbean Way. First Avenue is a few miles up on the right side.)

Here's the Yahoo Maps page and remember, you can send the directions to your phone as well. :-)

You'll see a main gate, check in and I think they're going to send you around to the back garage where you'll enter directly into the classroom C & D area above the URLs Cafe (in case you've been here before). This is open to everyone, so just show up and come on in.

Sorry again for the late notice. See you tonight!
