Good Friends from Gnomedex, #1

Jacob Gower from BloggyNetworks.

Jacob was a first time attendee to Gnomedex, who, although originally from Tennessee, is now living and running his own blog/hosting business from Arkansas. Jacob and I not only share a first name, but also a birthday, which is a pleasing coincidence.

Jacob left his Laptop and Gnomedex Swagbag in my car after the after-hours party thrown by Marc Canter and Broadband Mechanics. Since I slept late the next day, (missing yet another Dave Winer appearance), he didn’t have his laptop for the first part of day two.

Jacob became a great friend, hung around with us, and we hope that we made his first trip to the NW (anywhere north for that matter) as fun for him as it was for us to hang out with him.

Flock Test Post #1

Testing the cool new Flock browser, which I love! I had installed Firefox, but never let it be my default browser, which is annoying, because when I clicked on things, it would open IE instead, bah! But after seeing Flock’s “social network” integration, and two minutes of hassle-free configuration, I had it set to my default browser, and I’m Psyched!

Here’s a picture of Flockstar and “young padawan” Master Will Pate, with Megan Cole of Rain City Studios.

Respect My Hospitalit-I

A fine night after-hours party at the Marriott, (oddly enough, in the hard to find room 404), sponsored by Marc Canter, and his new venture Broadband Mechanics.

First, We stopped off at the Fish Club lounge for an Pike Kilt Lifter Ale for Dave and a Scotch for Me, the 10 year old LaPhroaig, “Scotland’s Most Flavorful Whisky”.
