We actually discovered a hotel right around the corner from the Triton that we really like. It's <a href="http://www.sfhoteldesarts.com/" rel="nofollow">Hotel des Arts</a>. We stayed in a room painted by young local artists for $50 a night. Free Wi-Fi, bagel breakfast included. We're thinking to go back next week.

I think it's interesting that in his school and in most public schools, the model for learning is more like a social network than a traditional teacher-as-authority-figure, student-as-passive-learner situation. They work in groups and are encouraged to ask peers for help on tasks, before asking the teacher - thus kind of fostering a social network model, with a heavy reliance on peer networks, rather than an heirarchical model. I've been watching this for a few years now and have been wondering what impact this learning model will have on their lives in the future... Well, I hope this is of some interest to you and enjoy your trip to the West Coast!

I am currently staying down in Sunnyvale/Mt. View to Saturday. I may be going by the Maker's Fair. It is great news about Thinglink! Congrats all around on that front. The Triton is a fun hotel.
