Last week I went for the first time to the Silicon Valley Product Management Association (SVPMA) monthly meeting. The topic for this first meeting of the year was about User eXperience and presented by Glen Lipka from Marketo. I guess slides will be available soon in the SVPMA archive (they are still not available at this time) and beyond the networking opportunity, here are the key points I retained.

Los Altos Hills bike ride at EveryTrail
Fantastic weather today, it was like summer, perfect for working out, I did the launch of Body Pump #80 at the Palo Alto YMCA then jumped on a bike for a pretty nice ride with friends. I discovered the Rancho San Antonio County Park, it seems a great place to workout with a lots of trails, I'm looking forward to run there.
Still discovering new places in the Bay Area, today was the Crystal Springs Reservoirs created by the San Andrea fault. Mostly flat, perfect to start a new year.
2012 first bike ride at EveryTrail
EveryTrail - Find the best Hiking in the Bay Area, California
Happy new year everybody, once again make this new year full of fulfillment. 2011 was a great year for us and we look forward to 2012. Last year we didn't took any good resolutions or built any to-do list and we actually achieved more than we would have expected... We will do the same think this year, we'll just follow our passion :-)
We took this picture today in the Bay Front Park in Menlo Park, there are a lot of salt ponds and the purplish color is water that's just about ready to be evaporated for its salt content.
In France for a few days... will be in Belgium next week and then back to California just in time for Christmas.
Thanks to everybody, especially to my parents Daniel and Patrica, for your help for the last 4 weeks, to build a gym room in the garage and do some insulation in the house. Work is now completed, more pictures to come :-)
