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. What really caught me off guard though was the appearance of my “academic” life in the final presentation I’ve been working on.

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.

Last week I wrote about an 8-year search coming to a close with the help of some Googling and perseverance. I finally found Clare and got in touch with her.
Well it gets better.
Today I got an email through the contact form I put up a few days ago:
