Bay Area Shots

Just got back from a cool trip to the West Coast, been pimping the software like a man on fire. Met with some very cool folks who led us down some great paths, gave wonderful advice, and let us fly back home with our head's spinning. Wanted to pass on some slick sites , some great pics, and while I'm at it - a couple of sick tunes.

First off - Surf Canyon. Met the CEO of this search enhancer, that I had downloaded prior to ever meeting him, I just found the tool very useful and was very impressed by his approach to web 2.0 and business. If you need deeper insights EVERY TIME you look something up on Google, Craigslist, or Yahoo then Surf Canyon is a must have.

Searchme Visual Search engine is a great way to take in massive amounts of information quickly and with some great tools to boot. Two of the guys we met with were very cool, and extremely bright. They not only have some serious minds at work, the apparent depth to pull off search engine competition, but some cool new tools coming down the pipe. I would be more than pleased to call them my primary search partner.

FOHBOH - which stands for Front of House, Back of House is a social network focusing exclusively on the food business. These  folks know what they are doing and I was thrilled to present our web tool to them and get their feedback. If you sign up for the service, and you definitely should, hit me up here.

Pics - Bay Area on Flickr.

Tunes - Couple of tracks to keep your head bobbing.

Everlast's latest Folsom Prison Blues(video), Friend, & Saving Grace (video from the Show Saving Grace)

Grand Agent and Pete Rock - This is What They Meant by Soul - Damn this song is so old-cool. I love it...

Rehab - My boy Jay knows this dude and whipped his apple at Mazzio's in Warner Robbin's, GA. He hit a homer with this song though...Bartender(video). Then hear about the fight here...This Town.
