Jeremiah and Shirley Owyang are about to celebrate their first anniversary at Lake Tahoe and I wasn't even invited to join them. The nerve. Congrats guys. It's been a pleasure getting to know you this year. You have both always felt like you have been married forever.
This photo from Techcrunch 7 was taken by Scott Beale/Laughing Squid.
Speaking ofTechcrunch, Jeremiah has posted a great sample Scrapblog page of the Techcrunch Party.




Thank you SO much for this wish, you've really brightened somewhat of a challenging day.
Thanks Shel, you've been great to me since we've met. A friend and a mentor.
Yes, Shirley and I are very compatible and have been very comfortable with each other long before we were married.
Glad you liked my ScrapBlog page, I'm hoping others will add onto the TechCrunch party on their own!

Oh, and nice job embedding the image around the text.

Jeremiah,
Congrats!
P.S. All the Techcrunch party pics - from a pure quantity perspective concern me - from this perspective it looked more like a photo opportunity rather than real networking talking about business principles.

Wow, you guys totally act like you've been married for 5+ years (in a good way). Many, many congrats on the first anniversary!!!

Agreed with a caveat
Yes, Techcrunch was a schoomze fest --it was fun.
Photos are part of networking they go into flickr which is a social site. We have conversations in flickr by leaving comments, links, notes, tags. It even morphs to scrapblog, (the Flickr APIs talk with
Scrapblog) extending the experience and the community. Flickr is the MySpace of images
At these types of events, folks talk abit about the products there, talk about other people, and some business principles.
Many of us are friends, and we meet new friends.
The thing with bloggers and social media types, is the in person event is just ONE touchpoint to the networking.
Proof is this discussion we have now we carry on.
OR,
Scratch all the above I just said, and I'll admit I'm a picture glut (perhaps the asian in me) or I thought that TC7 was actually my post-wedding party!
:)

Thanks Jeremy, we've been together since College, funny story:
I built my first website with her.

Your first website? Now there's a love story I could sleep through.
