Last time I changed the “feeling most like” photo on the Extraface “about” page, it went from McNulty to Colvin as I made the transition from my role at EarthLink to that of an independent consultant.

My host, Dreamhost.com, had some problems today so my sites among many others hosted there were unreachable for a couple of hours. If you couldn’t get here earlier, that’s why.
Today I’m going through all my notes and memories and business cards and free stuff from this past weekend’s SXSW interactive. This was my third time attending.
