BLADAM - Entry - What I’ve been up to

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal blog. The blatherings here aren't (necessarily) the views of the current company I work for, companies I've previously blessed with my presence, my loving parents, the Illuminati, or anyone other than me, me, me!

What I’ve been up to

As many friends have reminded me, I haven’t blogged for a while.

Here’s a refresher on what I wrote a while back about why I blog.

And here are a few reasons why I haven’t been blogging for a while:

Scrubbing
I had to prepare my apartment for a parental visit. ‘nuff said.
Traveling
I visited Seattle, Ottawa, and Toronto… which involved preparing presentations, doing my first-ever TV interview, filing expense reports, escalating/acting upon tons of awesome webmaster feedback, recovering from staying in a tiny room above a Mexican restaurant (which cost nearly $150 a night!), helping a friend break up, and beforehand personally booking plane rides, train rides, hotel rooms, and more. Trips are a lot of work, especially those that combine business and pleasure.
Recovering
I spent time recovering from having many bits of glass fly into my head. This was associated with an accident involving me, my parents, my new car, and a very, very stupid and/or suicidal skateboarder who ignored a stop sign at a busy intersection and collided at high velocity with my slowly-moving vehicle. While my parents and I are thankfully all healed up, I’m still dealing with financial and legal ramifications… and my car is still in the shop. Upside: I’ve been getting lots more exercise from walking and jogging and have lost two pounds of fat .
Practicing and performing
I recently performed on stage at the huge Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. What a scary and exhilarating experience!!! I hope to have a recording that I can post here in the near future.
And yet more travel-planning
I’m planning trips in the remainder of this year to Dublin, Seville, Louisville, Los Angeles, Chicago or Las Vegas, Viernheim, Mannheim, and Caracas. I’m excited but stressed about this, as you can imagine.
Working
I’m heading up two major events at Google, taking on new responsibilities, attending Search Engine Strategies San Jose in August, and much more.
Apartment searching
Though this has been temporarily put on hold while I’m carless, I have been scouting out a new place to call my own closer to the Googleplex to eliminate the generally-comfy-but-time-consuming daily commute from San Francisco to Mountain View.
Facebooking
Facebook has both taken time away from my blogging and has dried up much of my drive to blog. With Facebook, I’ve been able to share what’s going on in my life with friends, highlight interesting articles, ask questions and get answers, show off music and photos, and learn what’s going on in my communities, in my friends’ lives, and so on. Still, though, Facebook isn’t (yet) a complete replacement for self-hosted blogging as I see it, so don’t count on me shuttering BLADAM just yet .

* * *

I always have tons of stuff I want to share… continually have blog drafts bouncing around in my noggin. But now you understand why those have remained mental drafts for the last months.

So… no promises that I’ll blog more often—sorry. But be assured that I’m not just belching in front of the T.V.

Traveling - You went to the right places at the right time - I picked Orlando, Atlanta and Tennnessee for the summer months. Can I let you plan my itinerary next time? Recovering - Owie! Hugs to you and your parents. I’m glad you’re all ok. Tell them I said hello. Performing - I’m glad you still are. You’re gifted and talented and I’m happy that you take the time to share that. Working - Obviously it’s been a while since I last checked in. You were interviewing with Google then. Apartment Searching - I love moving but hate finding the new place to live. Good luck. FaceBook - I’ve heard of it but never checked it out. Now I will - Posted on Monday, August 6, 2007 at 14:08 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Luckily, glass is no longer in my head. Small scar, nothing major. At Shoreline, I was performing a piano medley called “Anyone Can Cook a Dinosaur (in 4 minutes).” Still waiting on an audio copy, but hopefully I’ll get it soon Facebook plugins… gah… too many! I’m especially enjoying the Scrabulous one, along with various Flickr and Picasa apps. I’m rather unfond of the boringly viral ones that do nothing (e.g., vampires, pirates, etc.) Marlene… sorry to hear about your sweating time! But yeah, ask me in advance next time and—for instance—I’ll urge you not to visit Alaska in the winter (some of my colleagues did try to get me to go to a conference in Moscow in November, though!) Laurie and others… thank you for the good wishes! Lydnseo—still deciding between Vegas and Chicago, but I’ll figure it out soon! And Mitzi… yes, I really do need to remember to get postcards for your owner soon. I actually did pick up some postcards for her on a previous trip but didn’t quite get around to mailing them. Oops! - Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 at 23:33 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Matt Brisbane, Australia [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam that’s terrible to hear that you had a run in with a skate border! Glad you are ok, not so glad it’s caused you other angst. On the good side, though, you’re heading over to one of my favorite cities - sweet Sevillia. Be sure to try the local brew - nope, I don’t mean sangria (although that’s good too) I mean a beer called Cruz Campo (from memory) - it’s quite a nice drop. Seville is a beaut place - I’m sure you’ll love it. I first went there way back in 92 - there was a world expo there.

Comment from Igor The Troll Japan [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam come to Europe. I am going skying this winter to Austria, maybe we can run the slopes.. I can’t remember the place, but you know the one Dia went to. I have to ask my assistant she is the one making reservations and stuff. I am too busy Trolling Google and having a good time about it. Have a great New Years, and pop that Dom Pérignon. Last time I did a night out at New Years it was in Florence, Italy dude not California.. But going Europe from Japan is a PITA, cannot smoke on planes you know, and I have a nasty smoking habit. Cheers, Igor - Posted on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 13:22 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from Eddie Krassenstein [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam sounds to me that you definitely need a nice long relaxing vacation. The US Virgin Islands are nice this time of year - Posted on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 13:01 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Igor The Troll Japan [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam come to Europe. I am going skying this winter to Austria, maybe we can run the slopes.. I can’t remember the place, but you know the one Dia went to. I have to ask my assistant she is the one making reservations and stuff. I am too busy Trolling Google and having a good time about it. Have a great New Years, and pop that Dom Pérignon. Last time I did a night out at New Years it was in Florence, Italy dude not California.. But going Europe from Japan is a PITA, cannot smoke on planes you know, and I have a nasty smoking habit. Cheers, Igor - Posted on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 13:22 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from Mike Germany [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Hi Adam, the comments of Musik, Spiele, vjas and Marko are comment spammers… without any words ^^ greetings Mike - Posted on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 14:29 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Hi there, No, I am in Northern California, not Toronto. And Mike, I deleted one of the seemingly spammy comments, but the others seem innocuous to me. If you have info to suggest otherwise, feel free to drop me a note, and thanks for your concern To everyone else… still contemplating what to write next. No lack of stuff to talk about, just prioritizations on what to write and when to write . - Posted on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 15:00 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from flibber Groningen, Netherlands [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Oh Man, what wild stories, hehe The one with the skateboarder really scares the hell out of me - hope you are better now, i just had a snowboard accident… - Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 0:40 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Baby Chloe [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	I am also a fellow facebooker, and while i agree with you that facebooking is fun, it lacks the absoloute control of a blog. In some ways this is good, otherwise peoples pages would end up looking like mypoo erhm myspace i mean. - Posted on Monday, January 14, 2008 at 4:58 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Berlin Girl Berlin, Germany [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Found you searching for “facebooking” I am also a highly addicted facebooker - there is no better web2.0 platform than FB - its like a drug! Greetings from berlin and i hope your skateboard accident has turned out well. - Posted on Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 9:14 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from John Milner London [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Facebooking is really interesting and it’s fun to find people you met some years ago - but it’s also like a spying-platform! - Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 4:53 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Igor The Troll Japan [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam, you should be careful they are banning users from Face Book for being too popular! Backup your contacts! - Posted on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 4:57 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Yes, but not a very good one! Much to write, little time to do so. I haven’t given up hope yet, so I think you can expect to see more BLADAM stuff in the future. Just not sure when. - Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 at 14:11 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from member JoeDuck [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Ha - that was a fast response Adam. I won’t consider your blogging career a lost cause yet, and hope to read more of your thoughtful posts soon. How about an inside scoop on how Matt Cutts is actually a ranting maniac when behind his closed doors at the Googleplex? - Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 at 14:55 [ Permalink to this comment ]

Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Hey thanks, Ink. Though my wallet is $6,000 sadder, my passengers and I are in one piece (er, individually in one piece, that is), so I guess things could be worse. Thanks for the well-wishes, and thanks also for dropping by my blog. - Posted on Monday, March 3, 2008 at 18:11 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from Igor The Troll Japan [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Adam, I wanted to talk to you at SES London, but you kind of escaped me.. Hope to see you face to face one day. Regards, Igor - Posted on Monday, March 3, 2008 at 18:25 [ Permalink to this comment ]
