#12Aside from meeting hackers, simply walking around the city will be interesting if you've never been there before. Just don't go too far from where you're staying unless you plan it in advance. Areas in San Francisco go from nice to seedy very quickly. Granted, it isn't like going into South Central LA, but it's still bad.

#13Same thing here :). I finally decided to do a road trip I've been meaning to do for a few years. A friend and I are going to drive to Los Angeles, stop at a bar called Naja's place (which is awesome), then slowly make our way up the coast the next morning. We plan on camping around the Bay Area for about a week...any thoughts on must do geek things while there (that aren't specific to the startup community)?
Stop in San Luis Obispo on your way up the coast ... we'll do lunch.

#14I recommend hitting the great outdoors. There are woods and mountains in almost every direction. Take advantage of the wonderful summer weather.

#15Putting an email in your about section would help people who want to contact you. I did part of a PhD at the HITLab at UW and I'm in San Francisco now. Email me if you want to meet up.

#17Insider's tip: there's this little-known spot where all the locals hang out called Pier 39. I would spend all my time there if I were you. It's spectacular.

Sounds good to me :). Contact info in profile. I hear there is a really great beer bar there...

#20Off topic, but what school already offers degrees in Augmented Reality?
I'm curious as well because I just realized that Augmented Reality isn't a startup of some kind.
With a simple google search, it looks like he basically crafted his own major at Dartmouth called "Designing Reality."
