Nothing much, just a few small updates. =)

So my team at Bazaarvoice hit our stretch goals and were rewarded with a scrumptious meal at Truluck’s. That was pretty cool.

We were also named one of the Global Top 100 Tech Startups by Red Herring. I’m not entirely sure what criteria they used (looks like not raw worth in cash, since Facebook didn’t make it), but we’re on the list along with Mozilla, Wikia, and others I don’t know much about. =) Another award we recently got was a Top Tech Innovation award from the Austin Business Journal. It’s pretty cool working at such an awesome company… we just need more people!

And… a pretty belated virtual happy birthday to my sister who I just recently purchased a belated gift for. =p

Shot a wedding with Kat at Villa Antonia. Enoch and Yeeland were also there doing the video. I am pretty tired right now, but a decent chunk of the pics are now on my flickr.

I brushed my teeth today.

Some things that I didn’t get to mention… haha

Congrats, sister, on graduating. =)

Also, I mentioned my new phone, but I forgot to mention the number… 217 3327… you can guess the area code. ;)

I got a new phone. Decided to not go with the iPhone, at least the first gen of it. I’ve wrestled with paying for a data plan on my phone and the only way I could justify it is if I didn’t have to pay my regular internet bill too, which means I need sufficient speeds on the phone. The iPhone, not being 3G, will likely not cut it, so I went for something else. Also, since it’s usually good practice to avoid first gen Apple releases, and the iPhone is even “more” first gen then say, a new laptop generation, it’s probably better I don’t get tempted. =)

I’ve played around with the 3G data transfers on the Blackjack and it’s pretty good. Actually uploads faster than the cable modem here at the apartment (downloads are slower though, but still decent). I’ll play with this a bit more and make the call whether I can go without an internet connection at my next place.

In other news, big congrats to Angell and Eunice on their engagement. I was privileged to have the honor of shooting the proposal, and it was a lot of fun. Thanks for giving the opportunity, Angell. =) Here are pics, now that I have permission to post them… =) Angell had a fake ring he “accidently” threw off the side of the pedestrian bridge at Town Lake. That should explain at least some of Eunice’s expressions. =)

Enoch, before hiding:

I posted these pics on flickr a while ago, but forgot to post here. Thanks goes to Cindy and Jason for making it happen!

Some shots:

Today, my company had an all-hands meeting at Alamo Drafthouse Village. This is my second all-hands, and it was just as invigorating as the last one. Bazaarvoice is doing really really well and it’s really cool to be a part of such a successful company despite the long hours. The people I work with are pretty awesome and it’s great to get a feel of the other departments and hear their stories.

We finished the day off by watching Spider-Man 3 (which I wish was much better), and tomorrow we hit the lake and finale at Oasis! W00t!

Vox went to Longview Park yesterday to help out Austin a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rest.

So, on Saturday, I went to Displace Me with OMan and I look lots of pictures.

I also used the opportunity to buy a Polaroid camera. I’ve always thought they were pretty cool and they’re not very pricey, either! It’s the film that gets you, I suppose. =) Rest of the pics on my flickr.

Today, Vox Veniae went to a park to help restore it. So I took a bunch of pics from that too… but I haven’t uploaded them yet, so I’ll post them later.

I updated my Xanga last night. I think it’s creepier this time than last… haha.

Yesterday, Oriana got baptized at ACC. I think she made everyone cry (including myself) when she gave her testimony. Congrats, little sister. =)

Here are some pics, with the rest on my flickr.
