1. The Geek dinner was great. Heathervescent has done a really great job of keeping the LA geeks together every month. It was nice to see her at Bogher in San Jose, too. And Danah, too!
While at the dinner I sat by the very funny Michael and I was lucky enough to meet lots of nice and smart people including Eric whom you must never tell that he looks kinda like Marky Mark, because C’MON that gets old. So don’t do that, Leah. (Oh, wait. That’s me. Sorry, Eric.) But he was very adept at getting the spoons to do amazing things.
2. I met Tantek Celik (shown here with the lovely Heather) for about 5 seconds and wished for much more time to talk since I think he is great. He has a recent post on his blog called ‘8 steps to serving better (X)HTML’ . It’s a good list. I aspire to have clean code that validates on my websites. Not there yet, but getting closer all the time. I find it gets difficult the more hands in the pot, you know? Sometimes following up after a number of coders doing the same project takes time.
Wow the internet is so small. We drove Heathervescent to dinner pre-blogher on Thursday night. It’s all making sense now.
I’m envious. Would that I still liked in LA. Would that they had a Geek dinner in Sacramento…
He’s cute, but I ain’t seein’ much Marky Mark in that dude.
And look! Even your adsense is positive! 🙂
in that first photo, he is most definitely marky mark. it’s just that mark wahlberg looks so different and ‘grown up’ these days the comparison can be confusing. but he’s totally marky mark, don’t let nobody tell you otherwise 😛
He totally does look like Marky Mark. And, I usually eat at this one place on Friday nights when I meet up with my “girls” and the waiter there, TOTALLY IS A DEAD RINGER for Marky Mark. I will take his photo next week (if he’ll let me) and share it.
