“I’m here from the internet”

November 16, 2009 at 12:32 am · Filed under Geek Culture & Tech

Over the past week, my favorite sentence has been this: “I am going to a talk featuring the CEO of Firefox, the CEO of LinkedIn, the CEO of CREATIVE COMMONS, and someone from Google.”

My friends reaction: Roobee-kind-of-Heaven :)

And now that I’m back from the event, I just feel like I MUST tell those of you who missed it that Joi Ito, Reid Hoffman, Habib Hadad, Mitchell Baker, and Sami Shalabi are going to be talking tomorrow as well at Princess Sumaya University for Technology, at 4:00 PM.

I will of course write a post about the event with pictures and all tomorrow, but I’m beat now.
