The last time I saw Bill Turner
Was at a family function….wedding?
I’ve got a few things to tell Bill which i think he would be interested to hear, plus we both want to visit Italy..
Bill has given me extremely useful information, advice, and tools (especially listsofbests). Many thanks, especially for helping me befriend my mac. Things like these are what social software is meant to do! And we’ll be fellow Pittsburghers before long.
I worked up the nerve to say Hi to George while waiting for the elevator at the hotel during SXSW. I think George was the first person to “friend” me on the very first (photo chat) incarnation of Flickr, and helped answer questions way back when. Amazing how far along Flickr has come since then.
It was one of the last nights at SXSW this year, and I met him briefly at the Odeo/Consumating/Adaptive Path party. I highly doubt he remembers me, but he was super nice and gave me a nifty, and wooden!, free drink token which I didn’t end up using.
Because he has good tastes. And vision. And good perspective. And he reads my entries sometimes which makes me happy.
We both live in Dallas and we know a few of the same people. I interned at Reflect Systems which employs many former Dallas Yahoo broadcast office employees. We also, according to 43thing, share a lot of interests.
Well, now that Andy is going to be a co-worker of mine, that just adds to the reasons I’d like to meet him. I’d like to thank him for upcoming and for making sure that things like Danger Mouse and The Kleptones are heard by many.
Oh yeah, plus he had the good taste to also name his son Eliot. :)
