I have been an advocate of telecommuting (and videoconferencing) for many many years.
Recently, I opened the TracyVirtualOffice. This is a new version of the old Neighborhood Telecommute Center, now called “coworking”. I offer an open work environment with free coffee and WiFi (and H.323 videoconferencing). The TracyVirtualOffice is like your favorite cafe, but, with a printer…and quieter. The TVO has a couple of rooms (and one very large room) where you can meet with clients or put on a seminar or vendor demo or a……………….. BOOK Signing! 
I also write a Technical Blog on technology and product reviews specializing in videoconferencing / collaboration, telecommuting, streaming movies, and saving the environment, but I regularly venture into any technology that catches my attention. I also write a Book Review Blog (mostly Thrillers & Mysteries) as TracyReaderDad.
Tracy, CA has two historic watertowers, one of which is visible from our front yard, thus the rating system.
Greetings. I am intrigued by your site. As the caterpillar asked Alice, “Whoooo R U?” Someone pointed out to me that my novel, The Blue Mexican, was mentioned by you as a twitter thing, or something like that. I am the author of The Blue Mexican, the majority of which takes place in Tracy, CA, during the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s. It is an existential journey, very literary, of a search of one’s soul. Are you from Tracy originally? Your face doesn’t look familiar and I am probably a bit older than you, so maybe if you are from Tracy, I may know your parents. Seems you’re quite the reader. I just had a highly successful book signing in Tracy last weekend and am scheduled for one in Stockton on the 3rd of April. My novel got quite a review by a columnist from The Stockton Record last month. Have you or are you planning on reading my novel? If so, I’d be curious to know what you think. Take care.
Danny T. Ruiz, author of The Blue Mexican.
I have been in Tracy since 1985 (April 5th will 25 years. I picked up a copy of your book at Barnes & Noble (Galen showed it to me). I planned on meeting you at the book signing but Prom dress shopping took precedence.
Stop by AltamontCowork sometime to say Hi! Yes, I will read it. The problem is I have soooooo many books and I’m such a slow reader…..also if you want to join our Book Lovers club on Tracy Island Online we have 27 members and Robin Burcell (Author of “The Bone Chamber”) is also a member. http://TracyIslandOnline.com It’s free.
Thanks for the reply. I think I will become a member. Sounds interesting. Also, where is AltamontCowork? Sorry I missed you at the Barnes and Noble book signing, but I understand about prom dresses. I raised 4 daughters myself with my last one still in high school. Thanks.
