So far this year’s Grand Prix looks like a winner for most of the merchants of our South Bay city. After the race the street crews will need to get things back to normal as soon as possible and the hotels and restaurants will have just a short breather before the next group hits town.

This August (7 -13) nearly 150 Artists from 28 cities around the world and 25 cities in the U.S.A. will find their way to ZeroOne San Jose. The visiting artists will use technology as a tool to create some fantastic visuals including exhibits, live cinema, performances, music, dance, tours, and workshops.

The Opening Celebration, ZeroOne San Jose, on August 8 will be held at the San Jose Museum of Art in the Circle of Palms at 8pm.

Looking at the ZeroOne homepage I found an overwhelming amount of information and activities. There is a tour, The Free Soil Bus Tour, that will travel from San Jose to San Mateo. It will stop at the Stanford Linear Accelerator. On another tour, an opportunity to visit IBM and see one fast computer, IBM’s Blue Gene. (cute name)
