I just finished and put up my resume. Resumes are hard :)

Joe Walker has created an interesting AJAX mashup using Alexa data, making Alexa a bit more useful.

My old cohorts with BaseSystem and OpenPortal, Christoper Tse, Paolo de Dios, and Ken Rossi of Liquid Orb Media have just shipped their software and announced their company. The company is named Civil Engines, and the software is called Civil Netizen: Civil Netizen provides a useful, secure way to easily transfer large files and groups of files between people on the Internet, getting past FTP

Photos of Flash Pit are up on Flickr now:

Update: Julien reports that he's not actually using AMASS in his offline work, but was inspired by it.

Man, what an amazing event! We had a post-Mash Pit dinner and party at Lonely Palm. Here's some more info about the three projects that were produced at the end of the day.

It's demo time at Mash Pit. Everyone is furiously coding, but the clock is almost over. We'll have three demos. I'll try to blog them as people give them.

We're hacking away, very intensely! No time to post! Just 30 more minutes till we have to be done, at 5:15 PM. Nothing like a hard deadline to force you to make hard decisions.

The goal today is to somehow make the work people have been doing with Web 2.0 relevant for normal folks. We're doing introductions and introducing people to the coworking space. Thanks to Chris for setting up Mash Pit. We should be lazy today, try to reuse as much
