Vint Cerf and I. (I am on the right ;] )
I am grateful at this opportunity for a photo with this inspirational man. It was an absolute pleasure that Vint would stop and speak with attendees, and he was absolutely a genuine and approachable person.

Paul Kane of CENTR paused and obliged a photo with me.
With Ray Fassett
I got the opportunity to chat a bit with Ray Fassett from .JOBS, and he also told me about the TLD, and about the great work that Overdrive is doing with the King County Library System in distributing ebooks and DRM.
Jothan and Alexander This is a unique photo opportunity with the phenomenon known as Alexander. He is very fun to spend time with, and a very good friend.

DomainFest Seattle

DomainFest is an interesting gathering.  There were about 20-25 people, all who have the same interest in domain names and the domain name industry here in the Seattle area and outlying states.

There were folks from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and California, and there were also some folks who came down from Vancouver BC for the event.

It was very informal, and this DomainSponsor group really put some effort (staff, planning, money) behind making the event.

With Paul Twomey

Paul Twomey stopped to chat briefly and pose with me for a photo. I joked with him to get that smile going, that he would boost my market value if I had a photo with him. He countered, cleverly, that the photo would more likely boost his.

Either way, a good photo and a break from all the meetings for quick chats like this one are what make these meetings worth the long flights.
