Monday night I received an out-of-the-blue inquiry via email asking if I might be interested in offering my mobile expertise on a currently hush-hush silicon valley project.

Tuesday morning serolynne and I met a local FL prospect who offered us some immediate (and likely ongoing) database and web development contract work.

Tuesday afternoon the silicon valley CEO spent an hour with me on the phone, deciding that he liked what I had to offer and that he told me he wanted to discuss things further with his team.

This afternoon, he emailed me asking to fly us out to meet with his team in San Jose next week to explore potential ways he might be able to make use of us.

Both prospects know that Cherie and I intend to continue our technomadic wandering and other projects, and we'll be mostly only available remotely. Neither have any hesitation with this.

In other news, my investment portfolio has been shooting up like a rocket lately, and I've made back nearly all the losses from earlier in 2008.

Two months ago, things were looking rather lean. Now, suddenly the world seems to be overflowing with opportunity and abundance. When it rains...

*grin*

Anyway - tickets have just been booked. We'll be in the SF Bay Area next week, Thursday May 1st thru Tuesday May 6th.

We'll be visiting the Maker Faire on Saturday, for sure. There are other social convergences lining up as well.

Let me know what other things are going on - I'd love to see as many of the SF area folks as I can when we pass through town. I've missed you all!
