Velocity (day one) went amazingly well. Again, let me thank Jesse for dinner and the chance to speak there.

Part way through the day I got caught up in a bit of a media circus, but I survived. I finally got to meet Steve Gillmor, even if he had a camera shoved in my face.

(Oh damn, the media has picked up on this and it’s everywhere now, really…)

Ignite was slim (9 presenters) but still very valuable. I ended up going on second, with a talk about scaling for porn sites (even though I was supposed to be 7th or so). That talk is currently available on slideshare, but I hope to see some video up from the O’Reilly video peeps up soon with audio.

There’s still many more questions I’d like to ask of yesterday’s presenters. I have quite a few questions that need answering! While there, I spent some time with Artur, Steve, Brady, and Jos, and it was a wonderful feeling to be around such talented people.

BTW, slideshare folk, I had no idea you were so close to my house.
Hi! I found your office randomly while bicycling to work.

Time for sleep. I’ll see you at breakfast!

(p.s. duncan, I need headshots. What you got?)
