A twitter update from Shashi led to an article on James Hong, creator of (among other things) Hot Or Not, where at some point between 2000 and 2003 I uploaded a photo of myself, probably obsessed over it for a few weeks, and then promptly forgot about it.

So I haven’t looked at this thing in 5 years or more, and was suddenly curious about what my rating might be.

The answer? Slightly above average.

Because this is theoretically a technology blog, I’ll note that the shirt I’m wearing in that picture came from Ximian.

This weekend is a pre-Grand Opening "parts party" for HACDC:

"HacDC is a non-profit organization and space dedicated to technical, artistic and social collaboration. We are technologists, tinkerers, crafters and codemonkeys who call DC home. We collaborate across disciplines for the benefit of cultural, charitable and scientific causes. We create, learn and teach as a group, inviting our neighbors around the block and around the world to join us!"

Those sentiments are expanded a bit in their mission statement.

What follows is a cut-and-paste from the event notice:
