Anyone remember Blake Ross’ reaction blog post to the Time 100 dinner he was invited to? His website (blakeross.com) has been taken offline and I wasn’t able to quickly find the post via the Wayback Machine.

Hah, didn't expect to see that while reading this thread. The post is here, although it's missing CSS and the images from that evening: http://web.archive.org/web/20060613002629/http://blakeross.com/2006/05/16/a-toast-to-serendipity/ http://web.archive.org/web/20060613002629/http://blakeross.c... Was definitely a crazy night. I enjoyed reading Linus' post.

  Mind my asking why you took down your site? I know you hadn’t posted much for years, but I always enjoyed your writing.

    Yeah, I just saw your tweet about this — what a crazy coincidence, a 5-year-old blog post mentioning red-carpeting in front of Will Smith dragged up as you announce another meeting.

  I ran out of time to write, and then -- to be frank -- I forgot to pay my web hosting bill. Was pretty bummed to lose all that writing, thank god for the wayback machine. I hope to restart my blog in the near future.

For more nerd out of water action, there is a Penny Arcade TV episode focusing on Gabe and Tycho's invitation to the Time 100 dinner. Not a lot of footage of the actual event for practical reasons, I'd imagine. http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/pa-the-series/119/ http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/pa-the-series/119/
