Pretty nice view on the San Jose suburb, take off from San Jose going to Carefree in Arizona for our annual Customer Advisory Council. 

Today I did a 42 miles bike ride with 3,245 ft elevation gain in the Cupertino mountain, the view on the Valley from the Skyline bld is amazing and far better from a bike than from a car, climbing hills make you appreciate it :-)  Thanks to my friend Bob, you have been an awesome guide!

Tonight I went to the Duarte HQ to see Garr Reynolds presenting is new book: the Naked Presenter, he gave us a great story with his analogy with Japanese bath and presentation. I also had the opportunity to glance through Resonate the new Nancy Duarte's book about story telling and presentation. Both books sound great and I've just pre-order them.

By the way, I really would like to see this movie ;-)

Shoreline is a great place to find inspirations, this allow your mind to wander after a working day, allow distractions and you just have to look up to see the Googleplex and remember that good ideas can actually change the world.

Thank you Nick for the private concert! It was stunning.
