Going skiing today…

I’m going skiing today with the folks who planned the Lift conference (which was a lot of fun). Ellen Wallace said some nice things about my talk on her blog. I appreciate that. I probably won’t post much between now and Tuesday. I’ll be skiing today and tomorrow and not sure I’ll have access to the Internet (Laurent is kidnapping me and taking me to some chalet in the alps). On Monday I’ll be traveling back to Seattle most of the day.

Some real quick things. Toronto will get naked on March 6 (er, my coauthor is having a blogger dinner there).

One person I wanted to call out that I met this week is Steph Booth. She’s a seventh-grade teacher in Switzerland. Really cool person and opened my eyes to a lot of the European blogging community. She also taught me a lesson. Don’t get drunk with a model and let people take pictures! Yes, I’m gonna make you look for the good photos. Let’s just say that Thursday night was a little too much fun! She taught us how to do “ghost photography” too. It’s a wild world I’m in. Goof around, get Flickr’ed, and now everyone knows I played jedi with Hugh Macleod.

Transparency, is it a good thing when you’re partying? Hmmm.

  1. Gosh I wish someone would kidnap me and take me to some chalet in the alps.

    How dramatic!

    Then again, I can’t ski even if my life depended on it so it’s probably for the best.

  13. So did you all bring your ski suits and stuff on the plane? Or are you just cold in your normal clothes?

    Thanks for the kind words btw — not sure exactly how I opened your eyes to a lot of the European blogging community, but glad you got something out of it!

  17. You’re lucky then — it’s so cold here I almost came back home to put my ski pants on when I went out for a walk!

  24. Well, I’m glad you were wearing your glasses through all of that black-light naughtiness.

    You make me want to take up skiing again, but I’ll just deal with high winds, power-outages, and the never-ending rainy-blustery chill back here.

    I think this is the first time that I’ve seen Hugh instead of his work. I thought he’d look older. No good reason. Nice suits.

  28. Well, you’ve seen what half a glass of white wine can do to me — imagine 109-year-old cognac! Less regrets, then, specially with all those geeks with cameras hanging around.

  30. […] People often think that getting mentioned in some high-traffic blog will automatically bring visibility. Not true. Robert mentioned me twice in his blog during the last week (and he actually said really nice things about me), but that just made a bump in my stats. Not a huge peak with server overload and comments pouring in and hundreds of other links. Just a little bump. (And it’s not like I already have 5′000 readers anyway.) On the same day, Robert talked about coComment, also saying really nice things , and as a result, all hell broke loose and in a matter of hours, coComment was all over the blogosphere. Well, that’s because coComment is a major advancement for the blogosphere, and I’m not. It’s not being linked which is important — it’s what you are. (So, if you’re a post or a blog, whether you’re an interesting post or blog.) […]
