So, I’ll be speaking at BlogHer this year in San Francisco. I’ll be joining Angie Byron of Drupal to discuss ways that you can participate and contribute to open source projects like WordPress and Drupal.

What are some topics you’d like to hear about in the panel?

I’ve got a ton of stuff to write up on for the past few weeks. Namely the conferences/events I’ve gotten a chance to attend. Look forward to posts about:

• Got Social Media? Conference - Houston, TX
• BarCampTexas -Bryan, TX
• Bay Area Geek Girl Dinner #1 - Mountain View, CA
• Customer Service is the New Marketing Summit -San Francisco, CA

Oh, and my new job as a happiness engineer  here

Well, here we are…the last hours of 2007. It’s been a wicked, crazy year and I loved every minute of it(mostly). Despite the personal ups-and-downs, 2007 treated me pretty well. The biggest item was my move to San Francisco. I’m loving my new home and discovering new places, events, and people of course. I truly miss my Houston folk, because without them in my life it would’ve taken me much longer to get to where I am now(if ever). I’m looking forward to taking on 2008 and hopefully achieving a few (realistic) goals through the new year.

Without further ado…

1. Kelsey has told me time and time again, I need to blog more. Yes, I will try. What to write about? Who knows?
2. Learn and develop something in some sort of programming language. I will most likely tackle Django first.
3. Travel more. I love airports, flying and packing. I should do it more often.
4. To go along with #3, I plan to participate in more Startup Weekends. They are addictive.
5. Take more photos and learn more about photography
6. Bust out my wacom and improve my drawring skills

Here are a few highlights of my 2007

Ayo, Rene and I talking on our shoes.
