Arrived in Auckland and meet up with the rest of the team and the AfterShocks from Silicon Valley. You can follow their trip on the AfterShocks Blog.

It’s really cool to spend 3 days with people working in the middle of Silicon Valley, really the center of computing.  A number of the team work for Apple, so hearing a bit about what’s going on there is fascinating.  Also computer geeks that ride Segway’s is a fairly well qualified peer group so it’s good to spend time with people who can speak geek and have very similar senses of humour.

We did a quick photo shoot that made the Herald this morning.

Steve Simms is the organisational master.  The event put on last night for the Americans last night was fantastic.  Today had a practice game at Western Springs, bungy jumping off the Sky Tower, Boat Trip to Waiheke, Vineyard Trip and Dinner. 

Photo’s of today coming.  The big game is Sunday afternoon.
