This one is for you Andrew..oh and all the rest of the internet.

Andrew Hyde of Boulder, CO (he is the community organizer for Techstars, among about 100 other things) recently post about Memes. The term meme has been around for a while, in reference to a unit of culture. Something (an idea, a concept, a symbol) that people grab on to, that becomes known to a group or to mankind at large, and becomes a shared experience. Obviously, the internet only makes that easier. We are able to share experiences with people we dont even know, and gradually draw into a community through common tastes, experiences, and knowledge. With that said, Andrew has called on me, as well as others to support a couple of internet memes.

The 6th picture in your flickr photostream:

This is a picture that I took at Wolf Creek Pass in early autumn this year. I was dropping my father off on a backpacking trip and decided to snap a couple of pictures.

The next meme of Andrew’s is to list 7 random things about yourself, so here we go:

I broke my femur when I was in the second grade riding a bicycle.
I was born in New Mexico…and have always lived there.
I’m the only child of my parents, I have no cousins so my grandparents on both sides have other grandchildren.
I was only kinda spoiled growing up
I’m working on a startup right now, interested in talking funding?
I skied for the first time in my life, this year. Normally I’m a snowboarder
The only time I’ve been out of the country, I went to Japan.

Well, there you have it: An internet meme is born. So if you feel so inclined to join in on the fun, please do so, and post the link in the comments so I can take a look

Thanks Andrew (really I’ve needed to update my blog) but now I’m getting back to work.
