Planet Blacksburg’s new photo page

Brian Sewell, Planet Blacksburg’s newest sports photographer has redesigned the photo door.
Sewell and PB’s current webmaster, Kevin Cupp, are both very talented photographers. One of my friends once said that most of the web geeks he knows are good photographers.
I think this site looks great now… a lot better than when I left it [...]

The Crunchies

They gave out a bunch of awards, but I only caught the last few.

A truly semantic blog

Here is a cool shot [...]

Jillian’s in SOMA hosted a pretty cool event that centered around podcasting. This was one of many events at Macworld 2008.
The “meet” version of the event had already started when I arrived, and the house was packed.

I finally met Natali del Conti, CNET TV’s newest lady.

I also got to meet long lost colleague Joe [...]
