Zip, then button: @beley, @joeyw, @ryanraine, @mart85

What about me? I used to zip then button all the time as a kid (and my mom did it the other way around and I thought she was weird). And I realized today that I am slowly becoming my mom! I noticed that I now button, then zip! And I am also starting to do my hair slash dress like her. Thank God she’s beautiful.

GPD08 to my mom, too

(Uh oh… here she goes)

Wait, hear me out!

I came up with an idea: BreastCasting. My idea is that I will strap a camera to my breasts and everybody will see a live feed from Alana’s BreastCam.

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Hahaha this is what happens at tech meetup after-parties. (P.S. sorry that the video cuts off abruptly… but my flip ran out of batteries)

1. DO IT
Apparently everybody at these meetups and after-meetup-parties stand around talking about their ideas and their plans but then don’t really ever get around to following through. What a lot of guys told me was that the number one thing you need to remember is “If you have an idea… then DO IT!!”

2. BUSINESS CARDS
This is the first time I came from a night of drinking with business cards in my purse. I think I am going to need to make some of my own to pass around. (OR… I could just tell people to follow me on twitter, don’t ya think?)

3. GIVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
It seems like the consensus in the tech community is that everybody wants in. This creates an environment of a lot of people who want to share their information and help each other be successful. Of course, you can’t forget about the community after you succeed (that’s not cool). This whole info swap–I’M LOVIN IT!

AND NUMBER FOUR:

HAVE AA BATTERIES HANDY AT ALL TIMES IF YOU OWN A 30min FLIP! These after-parties are a great way to make some interesting videos with people you meet. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to record any awesome footage if (LIKE ME) your cam runs out of battery. Luckily I was able to get some small clips recorded.
