Well, I just spent the day at SuperHappyDevHouse 19. Some highlights of the evening:

• Having an hour-long conversation about dropping out of college, and again finding that everyone in the near vicinity feels that I should
• Meeting an entrepreneur in silicon valley younger than I am
• Being (easily) convinced by Chris Smoak (who doesn’t seem to have a blog…) that I am fully capable of implementing an Everyman sleep schedule while at college, which I intend to try
  • And realizing that Carnegie Mellon students/alum have almost as many internal acronyms as Yahoo.
• Having a few people actually have read my blog before I met them (very cool and infrequent occurrence)
• The “Hot Tub of Philosophy”

It’s definitely a great event worth checking out if you’re in the Bay Area, I know I’ll be going whenever I’m nearby.

Oh, and I found out via a former Facebook employee that Simon, the guy who sent me my Cease & Desist, is actually from customer service, not legal. What a shame…they couldn’t even take the time to sick a high-paid corporate lawyer on me…

So yea, I’m currently at SuperHappyDevHouse for the next 10 hours. Maybe I’ll do something cool, maybe I won’t. Either way it’s bound to be awesome.

I’ll be updating this post with arbitrary info/comments as the day progresses.

4:59PM: Trying to figure out what to work on…already finished my Facebook app (details coming soon).

6:15PM: Wow, a huge portion of the attendees have startups…neat. California definitely is the place to make connections. Currently on the hunt for food.

9:27PM: Who wants to post to a blog during an event? Frantically trying to finish my presentation for my FBML talk.

10:08PM: Packing up, heading home.

So yea, that was awesome. I’ll definitely be going to the next one…the people are awesome.
