More Pre-GameTech
After arriving, checking in and getting my room I finally realised that I had left my laptop power supply at home. Big mistake. Eek. No surfing, blogging, note taking, etc... Of course I could still get email on my phone.
With some time in hand, I decided to fix the problem and dug out the yellow pages and called the not-so-local Best Buy. No they didn't have Dell power supplies, but they did have universal power supplies. So I hop in a cab and after an interesting trip all over the place (and a few near misses) with the driver Paul, I arrive and disappear inside leaving the cab waiting for me. I locate the unit, pay, check that it works (apparently you can't open the box to check it, but you can pay, then check it and if it doesn't work return it on the spot - weird), then hop back in the cab back to the hotel. Problem solved.
I must say, I've never been to South San Francisco before - kinda cool. What was interesting in a weird kinda way was the town that Best Buy was in - Colma. The place was one big cemetery.
