SXSW and eTech
Big week ahead. I’ll be stopping by eTech for about 24 hours (late Tuesday to late Wednesday — wish I could stay longer), then it’s back to SF for meetings on Thursday, then on to Austin for SXSW (arriving Friday night and heading back early Monday). We’re throwing a little Flickr / Fire [...]
Pumped about London Hack Day / Dopplr
It’s 2:45am on a Saturday morning and all I can think about is the upcoming London Hack Day we’re doing with the BBC next weekend. I arrive in London on Monday to begin some of the pre-event preparation. I can’t sleep thinking about it. I’m turning 35 soon and I’ve flown many [...]
At Mix on Tuesday / Wednesday
I’ll be at Mix in Vegas on Tuesday and Wednesday — drop me an e-mail (chadd – at – yahoo-inc.com) if you’d like to meet up.

I’m not at SXSW, but the Shiners are on me
Yeah, I’m not in Austin this year. Between a speaking commitment here in the Bay Area tomorrow and a wedding-related commitment on Saturday, the schedule just didn’t work. Sigh.

Predictive markets microconference at Yahoo!
My Yahoo! colleague Chris Plasser has put together a really impressive (and free) event at Yahoo! on Wednesday, December 13, the first installment of a new series called confab.yahoo. Here’s the description:
Join us for a public “how to” session on prediction markets** moderated by James Surowiecki, New Yorker columnist and best-selling author of The [...]
Yahoo! Open Hack Day: how it all came together
I have to admit — since Hack Day ended, I have been struggling with how to contextualize it. It’s hard to put a nice neat wrapper around something that was so profound for me. For the people who were there (and you can read for yourself), it felt like a defining moment. [...]
Loads of new stuff from Yahoo! Developer Network for Open Hack Day
Lest you think our Yahoo! Open Hack Day was all about Beck (yes, it was really cool to have him), we also released an incredible stream of stuff for the hackers to play with while they were hanging out with us at Yahoo! There is nothing like a big event with a hacker rock [...]
