Random Sleeps, originally uploaded by rejon.

When sleeping 2-3 hours of sleep a night and very irregularly, you get loads of random naps throughout the day. Apologies if I fell asleep in your presence

Over at Overlap.org, I made a post about giving thanks. I give thanks to you too!

Even though the picture above is from Damascus, and I’m not in Saigon after speaking about Status.Net at Gnome.Asia, I’m chillaxin a bit before heading to FOSS.IN to speak about Status.Net on DEC 1-5, do a Creative Commons Salon India about CC and Status.Net, and then onto TEDxGuangzhou DEC 5, where I’m unveiling a new topic Shanzhai VS. Qi Inside.

I promise I’ll be back to USA for the holidays

With that all being said, I am thankful for all my family and friends! So many new people I have met in the last few weeks that make me more alive. Time is a finite resource. Use it well!

I’m planning to attend the Neoteny Singapore Launch, with 2 days of unconference including some of the most high quality people in Asia hashing out the future. Also, if coming (or not), don’t forget to order a copy of Joi and Christopher’s book, Freesouls. I’m going to order a couple of copies as gifts this year. Hey, I’m in the book and so many of our friends too!
