Who else? Thanks to my best friend – Google.

Google PageRank? It was started at PR2 -> jump to PR4 quickly -> drop to PR2 -> back to PR4 and now PR0(today). Crazy? What happen to Google PR? Anyway who care? Contents is the king!

That’s all for the year 2008 metrics. We hope we can do it better next year and enjoy holidays! We’re currently looking for Malaysia VMware blog contributors, please feel free to contact us if you’re interested.

If you look at scottlowe blog, you should noticed about “VMworld Spouse Activities”, basically he plan to have some activities for his wife and non-conference attending partner. Such a good idea!

Purchase the Las Vegas PowerPass, which grants access to a bunch of different Las Vegas attractions. You can get more information about the PowerPass at www.visiticket.com. Also available from the same site is information on the Las Vegas MealTicket. Prices range from $75 (for one day) to $145 (for five days). Crystal is only planning activities for a couple of days during the conference, but attendees may want to buy a longer PowerPass for activities before or after VMworld.

Instead of the PowerPass, we could arrange for a private tour of Hoover Dam or a private trip to the Grand Canyon. This approach could only accommodate groups of up to 9, and would range in price from $119 to $139. There may be some additional charges for transportation; we’re still working on this option.

There are a lot of free (or inexpensive) attractions in Las Vegas, so the third option would be to simply arrange an itinerary based on these activities. This would include stuff like going to the Mirage to see the white tiger exhibit or taking the gondola ride at the Venetian.

So if you bring your wife or your partner, please remember to check out his blog. If yo have better idea, probably you can ping him. Good luck!
