Funny thing happened yesterday. This woman from the Brazilian Embassy in Washington DC emailed me (she found my email address via Orkut) saying that she had some documents she believed belonged to me… Remember I mentioned that I had no idea where my old passport (which isn’t valid anymore) was?

I just registered to the Web 2.0 Expo in New York on September 16-19. I couldn’t go to the one in San Francisco in the beginning of the year because I had just moved to Colorado, so…
Maybe I should have waited until I got to Canada to register… Just to make sure I’ll have all [...]

I’ve been pretty busy this past week with the preparations to go to Montreal… (packing, selling stuff and figuring out what to ship)
Well, not only that, but I was also working on the Montreal NewTech Meetup Group website. As you know, I have demoed YowTRIP at the Silicon Valley NewTech (Dec 2007), SF NewTech (Feb 2007), and [...]
