TechCrunch August Capital 2008

July 26, 2008 – 11:12 am

It’s always an honor to be in the south bay. Last year’s TechCrunch party in Menlo Park was one of my first experiences being away from the city where I live and work. This year’s event was even better.

Cupcake Camp is yummmmmy

June 7, 2008 – 9:18 am

San Francisco has a bunch of bakeries that only specialize in cupcakes, but I never knew the amount of work that goes into making a perfect cupcake.

A first look at Plurk

June 1, 2008 – 8:17 am

If you want an invite, click here.
