I’ll be a guest on Technology Bytes this evening - Tune into KPFT 90.1 tonight from 8-10 PM. We’ll be talking about BarCamp, StartupWeekend, & more :) Thanks to Dwight Silverman for the invite

About Last Night…

I’ve always wanted to start a sentence that way ;) Anywho - Ed Schipul from Schipul The Web Marketing Company did an amazing job last night presenting on the iPhone. The good news is - if you’re already a standardista - and you know a thing or two about unobtrusive DOM Scripting - you’re in a good position to develop sites that work flawlessly on an iPhone.

I’d also like to give a shout out to Robert Brackenridge for his commitment to the Houston Tech Community. Robert recently founded a new company called Konstruction Zone - expect big things from him very soon!

The thing I really love about NetSquared is that meetings like this offer the community a chance to really give back. But in order to really effect change - we need your help! At last month’s NetSquared our guest speaker was Reggie Bibbs. Reggie has Neurofibromatosis - and is on a mission to raise awareness about his condition. Later this month we will be helping him launch the Social Media portion of his Just Ask campaign in association with stanandlou. I’ll blog more about this soon - but if you are interested in helping us spread Reggie’s message - please email me at: ericaogrady at gmail.com.

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block. Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography. Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

Check. And Check.

Sometimes life just works out.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
