Mine would have some uh.. more colorful stuff in it, but thats because for most of 2007 I was a doormat. Decembers been pretty rockin so far though. I certainly can’t complain!

Huge blogpost is almost done (I know, I lag, Im sorry..) I swear!

So its been a couple weeks since ETech and I’ve had time to setup flickr, setup twitter and a quarry of other things, like spearheading the first San Diego BarCamp.

This post is a bit delayed, but there is a lot to cover. The first thing I’d like to do is thank a handful of people:

Cory Doctrow
Kevin Marks
Alex Kawas
Heathervescent
Declan Fleming
Quinn Norton
Cal Henderson
Chris Messina
Lisa Brewster

Every one of these people listed were people I personally met and interacted with at ETech (Except Lisa, I live with her ;b). Every one of these people had a substantial impact on my presence in the internet community and has opened my eyes to new and very cool things.

I’ll be putting together a post here shortly doing various things: Thanking people that are ‘a-list’ who were kind enough to hangout with me during the conference, new friends I’ve made, promises to keep and more contact info to exchange.

I’ve been twittering/flickr’ing and basically getting caught up to everyone else in the community so the blogpost has been a bit delayed.

go team venture! er.. *ahem* .. i mean corpsetwitter!

FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT!
the ‘chicken chicken’ powerpoint karaoke, not the video from etech (oh god I hope there is one), but using the same ppt file.

CORPSETWITTER RULES!

I participated in the ‘half baked’ session, which is basically team-powerpoint-karaoke. Our team name turned out to be ‘corpse twitter’, and our company slogan was ‘On a long enough timeline, everyones survival rate drops to zero’. Our product was sms software that lets you twitter with the dead. Our market is… everyone! Heres the slideshow we created. My input was the tagline (thank you tyler durden) and the picture second-to-last of my friend Billy pointing his heavily modified turkish 8mm mauser at the camera. We won! It was grand. Thanks to Kevin Marks for speaking, Cal Henderson who whipped up the ppt in nearly three minutes with all our input and pictures, and Chris Messina who photoshopped up the corpsetwitter logo in three minutes. you guys rule!

Heres the powerpoint: Clicky!

Me, Heathervescent and Cory Doctrow Hanging out at the RFID hacking session at ETech. We all have thinkpads! :)
