Reticulous.

November 10, 2007

For no discernable reason [other than my falling asleep at 8-ish last night], my internal alarm engaged super early this AM.

Must be time for something.

I am now wearing a swisher version of these and sipping on coffee.

Oh, I am in love with these booties. Yes, so in love.

Wonderfully intuitive in sorting out what a girl doesn’t need [but might want], Mrs. Adams gave me this as well, and I love the itsy letter bits.

On the productivity side, I finished three pages of halfway decent material this morning. Please excuse while I feel a little high and mighty just for a moment.

Okay, done.

Thus far:

This weekend, Silicon Valley.

Monday finds me lunching with family.

Then it’s out to San Francisco for a din shindig my lovely friends have put together, followed by an evening spanner out. Drop in for Tuesday lunch with startup compadres, then a tour of the Oracle campus [swish!], followed by a STIRR event.

If possible, I will try and lifecast some of the Oracle tour. I know.

Back to regular scheduled program, you.

Primping for the Crunchies

November 9, 2007

In preparation for the Crunchies, behold, the editor of Techcrunch + golden glow produced à la Pixoo. Not exactly newsworthy, but it had me in stitches long enough that I had to post it. The comments on the below link are even funnier.

Yes, George Hamilton. Scoot over, please.

And for my actor friends dealing with the Hollywood writers’ strike:

Got <3 for Tom Waits

November 8, 2007

Reading headlines, checking FB, packing shoes.
Sipping coffee in the brrr, currently listening:

Mishaps: missing a part to my SLR camera , cannot locate a rebellious external hard drive, black trench. Come back, coat, I must wear you!..

…..

New startup that I know some of you may find interest in: a natural language search engine! The startup is in private beta as of yday, and is Cambridge, UK-based. The story was broken by TechCrunchUK. [Yes, I do cite / link to plenty of Techcrunch coverage. Stories usually break there first.]

…..

I wanted to post a thing of beauty that unix friend Visnu made for me. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t do a proper copy / paste and my screen capture program is not performing. Grrr…

Separately, for the sake of clever wordplay, here is his nerdy ruby program:

The Crunchies: Startup Awards Ceremony

November 8, 2007

So you have your Grammys, Emmys, Webbys, and now…appropriate drumroll, please…the Crunchies, an annual startup awards ceremony and party that Techcrunch has launched in partnership with GigaOm, Read/WriteWeb and Venturebeat.

“More details will be coming soon, but the idea is to let the community decide who to nominate, and who wins, in a number of award categories. And the whole thing will be topped off with a big award ceremony and party in San Francisco,” writes Michael Arrington. “Who are the most compelling startups of the year? We’ll know soon.”

The Techcrunch announcement may be found here.
