Thanks for the Help

Thanks to all of those who voted for me and helped spread the word about the recent scholarship for student bloggers. I did not take first place but I received 2nd place and $1000 will be going to Georgia Tech. Thanks to Daniel Kovach for holding this scholarship. Congrats to Shelly Batts for also winning $1000 and of course to Stephen Yellin for taking home the big $5k.

A very special thanks to those that blogged about this on my behalf. Also thanks to everyone at Yahoo, OpenDNS, FeedBurner, Flock, Media Temple and my sister at Fleishman-Hillard who helped spread the word about this within each company. Oh and thanks to David White, my Computational Media academic advisor at Georgia Tech, for emailing all of the CM undergrads about this.

In no particular order, thanks again to everyone that blogged about this. I probably left a few out so if you blogged about this let me know and I’ll link it up.

Anyways, I just arrived in Sunnyvale not too long ago and met up with Richard Crowley and Phil Freo – both fellow Yahoo! interns from the summer that will also be participating in tomorrow’s Time Capsule Camp. For the record, Delta first class rocks. Each seat had its own display where you could watch TV or movies for free. Also for the record, the Sunnyvale Sheraton has poor, dial-up caliber internet connectivity.
