I am in Vegas right now, and I can tell you: most nerds I know would die in this heat. Turn your oven on and stick your head into it: that's what it feels like.

I am in Vegas right now, and I can tell you: most nerds I know would die in this heat. Turn your oven on and stick your head into it: that's what it feels like. I remember when I first visited San Francisco: I felt like it was home. Right then I decided that I'd move there some day. But Vegas doesn't feel that way. The entire city seems like a mirage: from the fake Eiffel Tower to the fake Statue of Liberty, it all seems so superficial. For the locals' sake I hope Hsieh can pull it off, but I'm skeptical.
