i gave a talk at nerd nite last tuesday, all about google and the internet and relationships and memory and self-esteem and kittens.

it’s certainly not the best talk i’ve ever given (i kept forgetting what slide came next, and said “um” entirely too much), BUT it’s the only one i’ve ever recorded (for my mom, in case you were wondering).

so feel free to watch if’n you’re bored and have an extra 30 minutes or so on your hands.

if you don’t have an extra 30 minutes on your hands, i’ll go ahead and tell you that the best part (or at least my personal favorite part) is pretty early - around the 1:37 mark.

(i don’t even start talking about my own stuff until 23 minutes in).

i know this isn’t super exciting, but i just spent far too much time making a new lockscreen for my iphone…and i’m pretty darn happy with it.
so there’s that.
