I’m sorta a bit late finally posting that I’m back from Vegas Pubcon.  But what a trip it was.  I had a great time meeting alot of new people and also able to spend time with some old friends.

I also met some new faces from Google.  I think someone is spreading rumors about me because the two new Google engineers (at least they were new to me) that I met gave me the coldest of conversations.  Ok maybe I shouldn’t have offered to help better explain their algo to them (that was a bit rude) but I was just having fun and the other Google employee that was with us laughed.  And I even helped a nice lady that was having a problem figuring out why her UK clients website is no longer getting any UK traffic after she 301′d it to a .com and moved the hosting to an American company.

YPN as usual threw a great intimate get together.  I know several people were upset because it was by invite only.  But sometimes its nice to have a smaller event that is not too loud and you can easily find a place to sit down and talk with someone or in my case go swimming with a few of my closest friends.

I am officially off the conference circuit for the next few months.  I have too much travelling for business and pleasure to squeeze in any more conferences.  Besides its nice to sleep in my own bed at least half the time.  Hmm that makes me wonder if I am travelling for more than half the time do I still need to claim Manhattan as my official residence and pay NYC tax plus NY tax plus Federal tax?  Doubt my accountant will like that line of thinking.
