Yesterday I visited the new Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California. The overwhelming size and engineering excellence demanded an article by itself. Henceforth, I’m continuing to write about my visit to the “classic” Facebook buildings. When we left off, we were waiting for the Gold Shuttle to take us across […]

Continuing on from my seminal visit to Google and the Computer History Museum yesterday, my tour of Silicon Valley today has taken me to the headquarters of yet another Internet behemoth, Facebook. Facebook is located at Menlo Park, a bit further north from Mountain View, not far south of San […]
Today I had the opportunity to undertake a tour of parts of Silicon Valley and the Google campus in Mountain View, California. It’s been a strong desire of mine to travel through the famous heart of the US tech sector, so today’s activities were quite awe inspiring for me, personally. […]
Hi There, Today we’re taking a look at the rather appealing Kensington KeyFolio Executive with Bluetooth keyboard. As regular readers would know, I’m a bit of a keyboard junkie, and I have developed a number of mobile keyboard solutions over the years. Here’s one of my favourites – a […]
Sorry about the delay in posting new content here on the ‘Entertain Us’ Nation. Since we’ve been back from holidays (just over a week or so now), a lot of effort has gone into writing up details of our travels for future reflection. This has taken a lot of time.. […]
In the past three years in particular, I’ve been travelling both internationally and domestically on a very regular basis, and I’ve adopted some strategies to try and make the experience as streamlined and hassle free as possible. Some of these ideas were adapted from the advice of fellow travellers or […]
Hi All, This week I’m in Sydney until Wednesday night, so there’s a pause on new blog entries until I get back to Brisbane. The flavour of this week is to spend as much time as possible doing face-to-face meetings and whiteboarding sessions to get new ideas, approaches and solutions […]
Hi all. So I know that I haven’t updated the blog since last Monday. No, it wasn’t a case of pouting over Green Bay’s inexplicable loss at home to the New York Giants (although it still stings). We just celebrated a national holiday in Australia – Australia Day – […]
So here are a few links to the various web sites of the places we stayed the last couple of days.. Sheraton Keauhou Bay TripAdvisor Review (Sheraton) Kona Country Club (Golf) TripAdvisor Review (Kona) Four Seasons Manele Bay TripAdvisor Review (Manele) ‘The […]
I’ve added three new photos to a new gallery.. It’s been a very busy two days including a 24-hour travel day on Monday. Yesterday we went to the Hawaii Volcano National Park – a 2.5 hour drive from Kona/Keauhou Bay. On the way we stopped off at various […]
Well, we are officially outta here. 3:30 AM wake up call is scheduled. Our 6:30am flight should see us hit Los Angeles around 8 AM. Today we hiked to the Embercardero Centre before back tracking. We wanted to go to the Zoo, but the Muni (local subway) was […]
Apologies in advance: this post was written over the course of this afternoon… We are standing on the terrace rooftop of Macy’s waiting for a table at the Cheesecake Factory. Below us is the famous Union Square; it sprawls across a city block, lit by a beautiful blue sky. […]
Hi guys. It’s approx 18:10 and Toni’s taken a quick snooze. We were up and out the door by 8 AM this morning – tour to Muir Woods (Redwood reserve), Sausalito and the Uber-famous Alcatraz! Muir Woods reminded me of Stanley Park and Capilano in Vancouver. Very pleasant. Used […]
WOW, finally have Internet access. Haven’t fallen off the edge of the world, although we could have at the Grand Canyon.. We visited Lost Wages (Vegas) Monday thru to today. Yesterday we visited Y Grand Canyon which was interesting. Last night we saw ‘ka’ by Cirque du Soleil. We landed in […]
Today we visited the Honolulu Zoo and Pearl Harbor. There were thousands of people leaving Waikiki which made it very difficult to do anything. In Pearl, we visited the USS Missouri, the battleship featured in 1991’s ‘Under Siege’ with Steven Segal. Got to keep this brief, we’re in LAX […]
