Web 2 Point No-Show
Nothing like the fall season: leaves turning, Congress churning, and nerds spurning. For me, free Maker's Mark on the rocks is all the motivation I need to sneak into the Web2.0 party tossed by About (pronounced "a-boot") and Why-Bang, among others. However, it seems these conference attendees feel guilty about all the free hooch they drank in the late 90's. Or maybe nobody told them the rules. As you can see by the graph, this party peaked for roughly 8 minutes. Only, it wasn't your usual type of peaking. It was the peaking where you think "this party is about to get good". Then it doesn't. It just stays in the "about.com to get good" zone. Maybe that was intentional. Luckily, I had a good menagerie of co-conspirators. Unfortunately, I was not able to debut my new web2.0 logo, which is for my heavy metal band Fauxstor's first album "Veb Zwei Punkt Null":
That's right: web2.0 shininess. As Cameron puts it, "specular hi-lights are the new ball-and-swoosh".
But alas, the unveiling was not to be. All I wanted was a fourth drink, and everywhere I turned, bartenders were shutting down. It was as if people had to go to some sort of conference in the morning. So, where are tonight's parties?
