flickr stats

I know I’m a little late to this, but I just finally activated my flickr stats yesterday. It’s about time, flickr! One of the main features the stats introduce is being able to figure out how that one picture with 10x as many views as the rest is getting that way. Everyone with a pro account can activate it and you should do so asap because some data gets erased after a certain period of time if you don’t have stats activated (namely, referrers).

Plus, there’s nifty looking line graphs. Mmmm, line graphs.

Halloween!

Okay, it’s a bit late, but for those who haven’t seen it yet… here was my Halloween costume:

BV Halloween-031

I made the headphones the night before and they actually play music. =) Kat helped a bunch on the body portion (especially the letters). She wore it to the Statesman later and it won their office “Best Costume” contest. Yays!

Weekend 2

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. ;)

Weekend

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:

Elements Field Day + Bazaarvoice

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!
