Crazy/Awesome Two Weeks

Finn at his 4th Birthday Party
Wow! I just realized it has already been two weeks since my last day at Yahoo!

In the last two weeks I have:

  • Connected with tons of old & new friends in the startup world.
  • Helped Rahmin, Strauss and the Cloudspace crew get Unclasses launched.
  • Hosted an (un)bar-b-q — i.e. indoor bar-b-q that got rained out.  (Credit on this one goes to my wife.)
  • Helped John & Jared get a rockin’ new Zentact extension launched — seriously, if you use Gmail, stop reading and go check-it-out.  Find out what all of your friends are up to as you are sending them email.  Great stuff!
  • Had a killer 4th birthday party for my son at the San Francisco Zoo.  (Again, all credit on this one goes to Lissy.)
  • Took an idea we had been kicking around for a long time and worked with John and Tim @ Cloudspace to make it real by South by South West 2009.  Famery is now live — though we are still doing minor tweaks for an official launch tomorrow.  Feel free to send in your sightings of friends that use twitter to help us kick the tires.
  • Not slept much.  I’m amazed at how quickly my body jumped back into hacking sessions going to 3:30 a.m.

Tomorrow (er, later today) I fly to Austin, TX to attend SxSW Interactive.  Can’t wait to see everyone there!  Be forewarned, everyone I see will be sighted on Famery.
