Sartup Camp, Silicon Valley, Nov 2-3 2006

Hi, I had a very productive two days at Startup Camp. It was held at the computer history museum. It's too bad I only had time for a quick look at the exhibits. I met a lot of interesting people starting tech businesses in the area. Wordpress founder was there in person. I was shocked at how young he was. The best startup competition was won by a landslide by an 18 year-old one-man developer for Zoomr.com Wow is all that I can say. I feel very over-the-hill after meeting him. I met several interesting people that I hope to be able to keep as friends for the long-haul. About 400 people seem to have attended. I've added my comments to 2 sessions that seems to be popular, so I am adding a link to them on this blogpost. Enjoy.

Hiking with Friends

Here we are after getting lost for 2 hours. We started on Baron Cameron Avenue inside Lake Fairfax and ended up at Lake Anne. We were happy to see the outside after being in the woods.

Some photos from my recent trip to visit Jason, my brother, in L.A. His friend, Kirsten Rose join us on a day at the Venice Beach, CA. The photos are from Venice Canal, which is really pretty. JY ----------------------

I used Flickr's "Blog This" feature to post this photo to Blogger.com. This feature allows only one photo to be linked to blogger, but if the reader clicks on the photo, the rest of the photo account can be viewed. So Flickr's blogging is not an independent full-featured blog software, as I had initially thought. Loading multiple pictures is still easier using Flickr, but users still need an account with a blogging service (such as Blogger.com or WordPress.com).

Bill's Cast

Bill got a cast from playing football with B-School friends over the weekend.

Blog test2. Ahem, a bit more mature.

Hi, I will attempt to post pics of my hand-made cards now.

OK, that was a failure. My SD card with the pics made it to Bill's office. Here are some other pics instead. JY


Some pics of the silk pillows I made for Susan Pan.
