5/12 Happy Mothers Day, Marianne LaDuca (1)
Here is my Mom with her students at West Point Elementary, taken just a few days ago.
She also turns 50 today, May 12th, 2008.
I miss her 
Love you Mom.
5/5 One plus one equals… (2)
One. Yep, I said it.
I have to make this short and sweet, but love is easy to understand. It’s definitely a ‘feeling’.
One time, I asked all my friends the question, “What is love to you?“. This list is very informal and incomplete, but it got me thinking. Then one day, I was sitting outside Pritchard Hall at Virginia Tech. I was kinda in love, and I thought up an equation.
1 + 1 = 1
Basically, your conscience and their conscience have no conflicts. You can talk to the other person as if they were your brain.
I know it sounds weird, but if you feel this way about someone, don’t back down. Listen to your heart, because it’s your strongest muscle.
5/3 Live Diggnation at Mighty (0)
I was lucky to attend a live taping of Diggnation this week at Mighty in San Francisco.
It was so packed that I could barely follow the show. I didn’t even see the GoDaddy girl on stage.
Next time, I will definitely go up to the front and get some better pictures. But, I did shake hands with Kevin Rose, so the night is complete.
4/28 Lake Merritt, Oakland, Ca. (0)
Two of my good buddies from Virginia Tech scored internships in Northern California this summer, so I went to check out a potential place for them yesterday. I had only visited the East Bay a few times, and I was excited to check out a small borough of Oakland.
What a beautiful city. I was really impressed with the colors of the houses, and the beautiful scenery.
The actual lake itself is amazing. The weather was perfect so people were hanging out.
They have orange and lemon trees everywhere.
And pizza…
And palm trees taller than the sky…
I hope Eric and Tyler move into this place. It looks similar to a college dorm room, so they should feel right at home. Here is a quick tour of the room.
It’s my goal to visit every part of the bay area. In time
4/28 Three reasons why Brightkite will survive (1)
- It complements Twitter - It’s really easy to update BrightKite from the web, or your mobile device. It’s not a Twitter clone either. Twitter is the what, BrightKite is the where. It’s fun to see where your friends are. You can also embed photos in your posts, so it’s a rich experience.
- It already has a bigger community than Dodgeball or Groovr - I have tried to use Dodgeball many times, but I only have five or so friends following me. In only a few days, I already have about 20 contacts on BrightKite.
- There are way more privacy options - You can easily manage your friends with BrightKite. You can choose how often and in what format you want to receive updates. I will keep using it until my network fades.
