Business Cards, Photos, and Personal URLs

Wow! It's taken me a day to get over the exhaustion of Podcamp Atlanta 2007. Kudos to Amber, Rusty, and Penny and everyone else involved for pulling off such a great event.

So I sit down and sort through all the new business cards I collected, and it occurs to me that I can't remember half the people I spoke to by business card (the good news is I did remember the other half!) Which is when it hit me; why don't people start putting a photo URL on their business card? For example, here's mine (notice the Well Designed URL :-), but of course it's not yet on my business card:

Photo: http://www.mikeschinkel.com/photo/

Of course, that begs the question of a Personal URL on a business card. A person's personal URL is a URL that points to their personal "About" page, and I think everyone should get one. Of course that URL should also have a photo:

About: http://www.mikeschinkel.com/about/

Note My "about" page points to the "About Me" category on my blog, but I plan to write a good concise "about" page in the near future. And my next business cards will have my photo and my about URLs listed.

Wachovia building imploded with controlled demolition one block from my home!

This morning at around 8:15am the old Wachovia Building on 615 Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia USA was imploded using controlled demolition techniques. This was filmed from North Avenue just east of Piedmont Road. Check it out!

The blast starts at 55 seconds and after the blast, nothing much else happens so you can stop watching unless you want to see the dust cloud grow.

UPDATE: I've added my photos for the Midtown Atlanta Wachovia Building Demolition/Implosion on Flickr. Click the link to see the slideshow. I took them at the same time and if you set it to view the slideshow at 1 second intervals it looks kinda like an old time flip book video!  Here it is just after it started to implode!:
