Sorry for the slow posting pace last week. I was on an east coast business trip, but managed to squeeze in a great evening in Cambridge meeting Paul Graham and some really awesome founders of this cycle’s Y Combinator companies.

I’m back in the office in Seattle, but have more travels in the not too distant future. If our paths cross, I hope you’ll reach out and suggest getting together.

This Thursday evening through Saturday evening I’ll be at Gnomedex here in Seattle. I’m really excited as I’ve heard great things about this event. I can only describe it as Lollapalooza for bloggers. It’s going to be especially awesome to attend a conference in my home town where I can sleep in my own bed at night. I’m hoping to meet some of my favorite bloggers including Chris Brogan, Marshall Kirkpatrick and Beth Kanter.

I’ll be speaking at the Office 2.0 Conference in San Francisco September 3-5. It’s at the fabulous St. Regis Hotel. There are going to be some great speakers I’m personally eager to meet, including Sunir Shah of Freshbooks, Jeremiah Owyang, Sam Lawrence, CMO of Jive Software and my good friend Bruce Henry of LiquidPlanner. For those who don’t know, September is the best month of the year to visit San Francisco. It’s spectacular. Come join the discussion.

Finally, I’ll be Silicon Valley September 16-17 for some work and play, including what sounds like a stimulating CEO dinner for Morgenthaler backed companies, which humbly includes blist. I’m looking forward to learning a lot from some of the industry’s finest entrepreneurs. If you’re in the valley and we should meet, drop me a note and let’s set something up. Or if you’re Dave McClure and you feel the slightest bit guilty for blowing me off two are three times now, let’s be sure to meet for a big pancakes and sausage breakfast while I’m in the neighborhood.
