I moved to Michigan one month too early... and it hasn't even snowed here yet!

Just moved to Brisbane from Mountain View, and cleaning ice from the windshield this morning I though was it the right move? Now I see there is not too much difference half an hour south from here. At least we don't have snow outside. :)

@Jesse: I hear it's beautiful out there too. I love Boulder (my grandmother lives there), and the mountains of western CO, which I imagine has something in common with it. But I'd have to drag 8-ish family members out there with me :(

The great thing about Salt Lake City is all the ski resorts and mountain areas are all part of the city, or within 15 minutes from the city. Or, just 30 minutes East you have Park City, which is beautiful in and of itself. Cost of living in SLC is typically very low compared to Palo Alto or Boulder, too - very compatible for tech startups.

Nice house. Hope you bring girls back there on the regular or you're wasting your mortgage payments. I'm just saying ... shit taking chicks back to a view like that would be guaranteed action if it were me. Look, I had to say it, OK? Stay warm

Great time at the Campfire One tonight, watching Bruce and Kelly and Andrew launch GWT 2.0 and Speed Tracer. Ran into plenty of old friends (Bret, Dion, Ray, Iein, Niall) and nice to finally meet Matt Mastracci. Congrats on the launch, guys!

Where the hell did that jersey come from anyway? I want one :(
- Joel Webber
DeWitt, that's a hockey jersey, not football! Eric Tholomé was wearing the football one. I saw a baseball jersey floating around, too ... I agree with Joel, I want one.
- Tom Stocky
Fred Sauer was wearing the HTML 5 baseball jersey. Apparently they were mysteriously handed out right before and taken back just as quickly.

Come to think of it, funny we both have Thomases and our names rhyme :-)
- Jesse Stay
Never mind - just remembered your name is pronounced "Buheit" - I always think it as "Buchay" in my mind for some reason
- Jesse Stay
I was wondering how "Stay" could be pronounced "Stoo-height"...
- Jim Norris
The naming must have been Freudian on some sort of time-warp since mine was born 7 years ago :-)

Is there a 'how paul ate soup' pic at the same age? In my case, my only data point is from my parents and "obviously" my kid does better than I did at the same age.

I've been trying it out on vmware tonight. No problems so far.

Just installed it on my server. Working great. Did have a little trouble with bridging and DHCP on boot, but resolved it. When I'm setting up a server, it's a choice between Debian and FreeBSD.

When he was still working at a start-up, Bret Taylor remembers sharing an office with a former Google engineer who was building a virtual pets game on Facebook called "(fluff) Friends." "I didn't really get it," said Taylor, now director of the Facebook platform. But he asked his office mate, who toiled alone with his laptop, how many users he had. "And he said, 'Ten million.'"

Ah yes, the FF 1.0 office days. I remember this. :)

Fail already had "failure." Genius has what, "geniusy"?
- Kurtiss Hare
Kurtiss: "ingenious"? I suppose they can sometimes be slightly different, but whenever I've heard "genius" used as a adjective it has mostly been with the "ingenious" sense in mind.
