As is par for the course with me, I missed my blogiversary for this domain last week. Unfortunately the posts from Pre-2003 were lost in a blog migration way back when, so I count from my first post on this site.

This is going to be a lazy blog because I’m busily packing up my apartment. I’m headed back to NJ tonight and then back to Ithaca later this week. Better recap of the last few weeks to come.
WordCamp in a nutshell:
Fun, comfy seats, good WiFi, LOLCats & Kathy Sierra FTW.
Onto the photos:

Today was my last Monday at Flickr. It’s unbelievable how quickly this summer has come and gone.
I’ve been doing a lot of wrapping things up - working on a presentation, documenting things, tying up loose ends, the usual.

And since I figured this page could use a little photo flair, I’ve decided to post some here. Enjoy!

After more than a year of procrastinating and indecision, I finally decided to “splurge” and order myself some Moo Cards. Until I either a) get a real job that has business cards or b) some nifty information transfer device becomes widely adopted, I’ve found that there’s really no easy way to exchange contact information on the fly. Sure, you can do the whole “what’s your number? I’ll call it right here” bit, or you can swap iPhones and each input your info, but these methods aren’t exactly fail proof. I have a lot of half-filled-in contacts on my phone to prove it.
