It’s official as of today: MySpace has acquired iLike!

I won’t delve into the details here on my personal blog, but I did want to make note of the occasion and that I think it’s a great move for all involved. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work. Things have been exciting here and busy, busy, busy…

We’re all revved up for the challenges and opportunities that our upcoming changes will bring. This positions us ideally for continued innovation in tools for artists, as well as being the foremost facilitator of community between artists and their fans. The whole team will be moving to Fox Interactive in Seattle, and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone there soon.

The last few years with iLike have just flown by, it seems like yesterday we had four million users, and now we’re past fifty five million users. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter! I’m so glad to be a part of this experience, and a part of an amazing team.

This Weekend: BarCamp Seattle 2009

Hey, you’re invited! It’s free, it’s fun, it’s nerdy nirvana! Join us. I helped organize this year, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an epic turnout so invite your friends. ;-)

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. It is an international network of user generated non-traditional social conferences— open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. Oh and super fun!!

REGISTER HERE (free!)

Follow @barcampseattle on Twitter and use #bcs09 in your tweets.

Sat Jun 13, 10am-5pm and Sun Jun 14 10am-1pm
(Also there’s a Friday night cocktail party at Office Nomads featuring Tara Hunt… in fact, here’s a more detailed breakdown of the schedule and parties)

Seattle Geek Shootout #1!

Here’s a plan @brucephenry, @geekgiant, and I hatched on Twitter. We noticed there’s quite a few Seattle Geeks who love to go shooting, and thusly determined we should all go shooting together. So here’s the plan:

WHERE: Wades Eastside Guns and Outdoor Range
13570 Bel-Red Road, Bellevue, WA 98005
WHEN: Tuesday, March 10th at 7pm, until we abandon ship for beer (Wades closes at 10pm)
COST: Lane rental is $15 for the first person, $10 for each additional on the lane up to three people. Gun rental is as little as $8, or bring your own. Targets are $.25 – $1 each, depending on size.
WHY: Who doesn’t like to blow stuff up? All geeks are welcome, whether Republicans, Democrats, marksmen, n00bs, or anything in between.

So before you leave for Austin, come get your cowboy on with us. Please RSVP with a comment so I know how many people to plan for. Also, please use the #SGS1 hashtag on Twitter to pass the word along, and feel free to bring a friend!

UPDATE: SGS1 has come and gone, and it was a lot of fun! 13 people showed up, and we had a blast.

If you’ve be interested in giving Seattle Geek Shootout another go, please leave a comment. I’ve be happy to organize another one, perhaps on a Monday, when the range is a little less crowded.
