I can’t say much about Monterrey. After 5 days in the air-conditioned hotel, I will always remember Mexico in April as pretty chilly. I imagine LA more exciting.

Yep, that seems to be true. I wonder if it was true back in 1995 when Hofstadter first made the Atlantic City Monaco analogy.

BTW, would you say that Monterrey is the Los Angeles of Mexico? (No ocean, no Hollywood, but vast sprawling car-choked mountain-ringed basin.)

(As well, at least some of Jon’s InfoWorld material.)

Not to disagree with the bigger point you are making, but the Atlantic City of France is Juan Les Pins. Monaco is the Vegas of France.

It was a pleasure to meet you in Monterrey and chat about “opening” stuff.

Except (channeling the Oracle from Matrix):

There is no truck.

There is no vat.

Maybe better:
How do you get milk from a herd into a truck?
or
How do you get maple syrup from a bunch of trees into a vat?

And this perfectly illustrates the point about analogies.

Just as Monaco can be the Atlantic City of France without being in France, ICS can be the RSS of calender feeds without being XML.

Fluid concepts. Creative analogies.
