Married Inc.

I may be the last blogger on earth writing about BarCamp San Francisco (it was this past weekend and it’s, gasp, Thursday). I do have a good excuse - I was drinking and eating and relaxing in beautiful California afterwards and didn’t feel like it. So there.

I did want to comment on how much John and I enjoyed the event. First off, Tara and Chris were very kind and let us stay with them. While they were off being great sports and camping on the floor of the Microsoft offices (where the event was held), we were comfortably sleeping in their bed. Great job organizing the event guys! And good luck with Citizen Agency.

I think John and I were quite the hit being (I think) the only Web 2.0 married couple there and got coined “Married 2.0“. Let the geek love reign!

The drinks and food were plentiful all around, as were the ideas and amazing atmosphere of openness and sharing. John and I presented on Languify, which is a localization tool for “web 2.0″ companies we’re launching soon (ok, it was mostly John presenting, he’s the uber-geek and I’m just an engineer, and a non-software one at that). More info to come…

By far the best part was meeting so many great people. We hung out with Chris from Sproutit and Dan (who’s moving to Toronto - yay!) and talked about business models, raising money, travel, and just about every “taboo” topic you can think of (religion, politics). I love debates… I also got to learn about Creative Commons (coming soon to Nuvvo), microformats, identity management yadyada. So much cool stuff to do, so little time and skill. Thank God for John.
