September 2007

I spent so much time at my computer that I haven’t read a book in a long, long time. How about if a bunch of us on Twitter picked a book, read it and then posted 140 character reviews? (140 characters is the maximum length of an SMS message via Twitter.)

What book should we read? Note your suggestion in the comments of this entry or on Twitter. Here’s where you can find me there.

Gonzalo Silva is spending more time in Boston which is always a good thing. I met up with him in Davis Square earlier today to take a bunch of photos when he played in the subway station.

The rest of the photos are in this photo set.

If you’ve been reading sooz.com pre-2004 you probably remember the big Sushi Fests that I’d host when web conferences came to town. Giovanni Gallucci is in town to speak at Flashfoward this week so we’re doing a last minute sushi fest revival. Fun!

Join us on Wednesday (September 19th) at Osushi at 10 Huntington Street. It’s inside the Westin Hotel near the Boston Public Library. The last sushi fest I hosted was there — they’ve got good food and lots of sake, too. We’ve got a reservation for 25 at 6:45pm. Let us know you’ll be there by RSVPing on the upcoming.org event listing.

For some amusement, take a look at the photo gallery with photos from the 1999 sushi fest.

I miss doing events more regularly. Wednesday night’s dinner will hopefully be the first of more frequent gatherings.

I was going to post a photo of tumbleweed floating along sooz.com but this is perhaps a little more interesting.

John Powhida of The Rudds has some new music of his own. You can sample a few songs from the upcoming “John Powhida’s Star Spangled Banner” on his MySpace page. If you’re not smiling and singing along with “Young Adult Woman” … well, you’re just crazy.
