Mozilla Summit 2010


The Mozilla Summit was amazing and this video doesn’t do it justice. There were so many cool things – science fair, world expo, dozens of breakout sessions, lightning talks and demos – that I didn’t even attempt to capture because I wanted to experience them. Instead, what I’ve got here is a few moments from the beginning and the end. It doesn’t sum up the full experience but I think it does represent the spirit of sharing and celebration.

CapTexTri 2010


I don’t know why it’s taken me more than a month to make this post. I guess I figured I’d have learned some big lesson or something. I don’t know. Certainly I wish I’d been able to finish. But really, I did something worthwhile, I raised $3000 to fight blood cancer and spent 4 months training with some really amazing people.

Ready to Go!


I’ve got less than 2 days before the big event. I need your support. Please donate now to help me reach my fundraising goal and save lives. As a thank you, I’m making some cool artwork for everyone who donates.

Rockin’ R Triathlon

Rockin R

I had such a great time today with the team. I don’t understand how/why people do these things without Team In Training.

The race was fun although the swim was kind of weird. It was really short swim to begin with (400m) and because of the fast current they shorted it to something like 300m. So as we rounded the buoy and headed upstream it was just really crowded. There was hardly any room to swim. But once I was out of the water I think I did about as good as I’m capable of right now. That was pretty nice. All in all it was good practice for the CapTexTri next week. Read More »

WebM

Lots and lots going on with web video these last few days. I’m not going to speculate about stuff or talk about the politics of it right now. I just wanted to play with it here. Read More »
