Three times over the last two days Scobleizer made a statement that 3G cellular data network here in San Antonio was the best he had seen, or simply that it “Kicks Ass”.

ATT is headquartered here, and Robert uses ATT - so I would hope the network was above par.  Plus we have a lot of large companies here and a huge Military presence - all are heavy consumers of high-speed wireless data.

Just another reason San Antonio is a great place to build a business.  The Scoble videos coming up over the next few weeks will give you many more reasons.

Here’s one of my favorite - The Flying Saucer (and yes, I know other cities have a Flying Saucer - but not as nice as mine!).  From last night - a Scoble Qik video - live streaming videos of a gaggle of geeks guzzling grog.  And yes, that’s me on the still frame below.  I am afraid to say.

 

And yes - this was March 12, 2008.  And yes, nobody has a jacket on, and there is no snow.  Just the way I like it!

When you spend the evening with Scoble.  We had a blast last night (too much fun?) and have a long day planned today.

I’ll post more about the entire experience later - but let me just say for now that we didn’t just have fun - we met some great tech people, I found a new developer for one of my projects, I found a new home for a bunch of overseas blogger’s that I have been hosting on my private server, I made a dozen new friends, and the real “event” hasn’t even started.  I haven’t named this event (which I hope becomes an annual one), but I am thinking of stealing a tagline from Rackspace and call it simply “Tech Town”.

You can hear more about Tech Town when Robert gets his videos of Rackspace online.

Today Scoble meets up with a half dozen local tech companies - all in one room, all with interesting stories.  I’ll let Robert tell the stories, through his videos, but I’ll give you my own perspective on the experience tomorrow.
