interesting things

I’ve written two posts on uncovering some interesting things on the average Digg and Stumbleupon user. So, I thought, why not compare those 2 sites?

(by the way, I’ll be referring to Digg Users = Diggers and StumbleUpon users = Stumblers)

As a part of his involvement in the CodeWorks 2009 conference (on multiple stops) Cal Evans is trying an experiment - documenting his trip in a series of blog entries, one each day.

As you are a regular reader, you will no doubt, have noticed the CodeWorks speaker badge to the left of this post.

It is my goal (not promise) to journal these final days of hectic preparation and the entire wild journey of what will undoubtedly be one of the more interesting things I ever do.
