Jackson Shaw says: Happy Birthday Kim!

September 27, 2007 · Leave a Comment

 Pamela Dingle pointed this post out to me early in Sept. We both decided not to write about it and make fun of Kim and Jackson for violating privacy guidelines so blatantly. But Kim got a good laugh out of my pointing that out so–while late–here it is. Pictures, dates the whole thing. Who cares about privacy anyway eh?

Kim’s Birthday Party

August 31st was Kim Cameron’s birthday. Yours truly got to cook the “meat blob” that was served along with a wonderful platter of Mediterranean halibut. Ian, Kim’s brother and his wife came down from Vancouver to partake in the festivities. I hadn’t seen Ian in years so it was great to catch up with him.

Below is a picture of Jennifer Wu, Kim and myself enjoying some of Jennifer’s Chinese dumplings. The three of us worked together at ZOOMIT. Jennifer was responsible for the directory synchronization and metadirectory engine and moved to Washington with the rest of us after the acquisition of ZOOMIT by Microsoft. She’s moved over to work on the “Indigo” team now.

As usual the food was awesome, the wine was great and the company was exceptional.

Subtle–The new approach

It takes a minute to put it together. This fabric makes any background look like you are driving by it really fast. The billboard–very subtly–is for the Ford Mustang.

Ad: This Ford Mustang billboard isn’t painted – it was created using a special type of semi-transparent material, that blurs the background to make it look like you are driving really fast.

What a beautiful amateur coat you have

 Kim Cameron does a book review of The Cult of the Amateur. The title of his post is “Emperor of the Amateurs” I assume this is as in the the Emperor has no clothes. I saw this guy peddling his book on the Colbert Report the other night. Both Judith and I looked at each other and said, “can this guy be real?” I am glad to see others that have actually done the work of ferreting out the bastard.

“How today’s Internet is killing our culture” my ass.

How blogs, MySpace, YouTube, and the rest of today's user-generated media are destroying our economy, our culture, and our values

If you are looking for a real hoot, and have nothing enjoyable or worthwhile to do, consider spending an hour (no more) with Andrew Keen’s The Cult of the Amateur.  Whatever you do, don’t buy it – you’re sure to find discarded copies lying around.  Mine, for example.
