Where to go (now that I can hopefully find the time)

March 1st, 2008 -- Posted in General

From jet-setting around the world (literally), to taking on new roles in the company, to diving off the deep end with new hobbies, to picking up a book deal this year has had it’s fair share of excitement. This list definitely isn’t all inclusive, but it should be offer good coverage of the highlights. (more…)

While catching up on my blog reading this evening, I was reminded of the fact I haven’t blogged about Flickr’s new stats. Like Karen, I wouldn’t usually make a blog post on a single new feature to a website, but this is just to damn useful and kewl not too. Here’s my stats as of today: (more…)
