These are photos from last night’s World Diabetes Day event at the Ferry Building here in San Francisco. After an amazing Big Blue Test in the course of the day, the event lighting up the building in blue with a great attendance by about 50-some people touched by diabetes really made yesterday the best World Diabetes Day ever!

Beth is the “nonprofitologist” of Social Media, i.e. one of the sharpest cookies around in terms of social media and nonprofits.
I had a chance to finally meet her and autograph her copy of “Ning For Dummies” while @ NTC last week. She recently held a giveaway of four copies of the book.
Today, I had the first chance to take a complete look at the entire book since it came out. Sunday, I was able to hold it in my hands for the first time, but today I flipped through it all.
It was a very special moment… just wanted to share it with you.
You can get your copy of Ning For Dummies @ your local bookstore or online.
Location: San Francisco City Hall

How was your World Diabetes Day?
Me lo mando un pana… Autoctono hasta mas no poder.
As most of you know, Monday was my last day @ Ning. Starting Tuesday, I began to head the Diabetes Hands Foundation full-time, running TuDiabetes.com, EsTuDiabetes.com and other diabetes outreach programs.
Here you can see some photos of the last day, including one with Gina Bianchini (above): not every day does one get the opportunity to get a pic (or work) with a CEO that has Silicon Valley buzzing.
It was an honor to serve in the Ning team. I will now continue to be a Network Creator devoted to the development of our social networks for people touched by diabetes.
Los Compadres just left. Henkel y Mariana estuvieron con nosotros casi dos semanas (excepto unos dias que bajaron a L.A.) y la pasamos genial: pudimos ir a Napa, Sonoma, el Golden Gate, Monterey, Berkeley y cubrimos las fotos de rigor delante de las empresas mas importantes de Silicon Valley. 
¡Los extrañaremos muchisimo Compadres! La pasamos genial. Se les quiere cantidad.
As some of you know I practically watch no TV (since we moved to CA, from practically it’s turned into none). So, understandably, I was confused by this sign in San Francisco that we ran into as we were getting into the city yesterday:
I guess this could very well be a publicity stunt for Sarah Marshall or could it be the blog of a guy who claims he “was going to dump Sarah Marshall” but she beat him to the punch. I am leaning more towards the first case… otherwise this guy probably deserved getting dumped for being willing to spend so much money on a sign!
We spent most of last Sunday in Sausalito. What a beautiful town!
Here are some of the pics we took:
I think Zappos rocks… but seeing this ad on one of the bins where you put your shoes to get through Security in LAX was just more than I was ready for last weekend.
