Tom, here.

I landed yesterday and immediately sprang into InsideMobile magic.  I met up with Rob Weaver from AccuWeaver first.  Rob helped us with 360|iDev in March, so he was asking how he can help us with InsideMobile.  Rob’s one of those guys that does it all: development, can manage a team, head up a project, etc.  (Sidenote: if you need someone like that in Silicon Valley, he has a few spare cycles so hit him up ASAP!)

Rob and I then made a pit stop at eBay.  We ran into the man in charge of the facilities and like Houston, got the “All systems go!”  There’s no turning back now folks, eBay/PayPal are ready to welcome you to their house.  Facilities are currently taken up for some exciting news coming from PayPal, but they’ll be ready for us by Sunday.

Next up was @Abbi from FastMac makers of the coolest Mac t-shirts around.  Abbit is a hardware developer as well, thinking up new things for mobile devices.  He sends his best to you InsideMobilers but has to miss the show due to a trip to Canada.  Abbi also treated Rob and I to yummy dim-sum.  Thanks, Abbi!

InsideMobile then invaded the Silvafug meeting (the flex user group I used to run).  I raffled off some tickets to the folks there, but then noticed some were leaving.  ”Off to the twitter meetup at Google.”  I noticed @TimBurks (one of the Silicon Valley tech superstars,360|iDev speaker and organizer of the iPhone meetup group) was also twittering about the event.  It didn’t take a genius to decide where to go next.

Before I bailed though, I hitup @mobclix to see if they were in the hizzy to give me a tour of their swank new diggs since I was down the street.  Alas, they were not home or their twitter client was dead since I got no response (LOL), so off I went to the Googleplex.

The tmeetup was pretty cool.  I missed most of the remote speaker but caught the panel. I was most excited to see the twitter API folks, but there was too many questions for me to get mine in.  At the end of the event, I got up and hyped the show some more.  I gave out some free passes there as well to help spred the social love.  After a quick hello to both @TimBurks and @bess, I was off to catch some sleep.  When you leave at 4:30 am to catch a 6:10 flight, the sandman comes early.

All in all, a good day of work for the show.  Can’t wait to see you all there.  Oh and if for lame reason, you still haven’t bought your ticket.  Go register now and use the InMoBlog discount code to make admission $150.  See you soon!
