Hui-chen and I went up to Taipei on Sunday evening to meet up with some bloggers at an informal gathering hosted by Byron, of Textura Design, and Bike Hugger. It was a nice group of tech types with talk about blogging, politics and of course, technology. There are other accounts of the event worth reading, and with some great photos:
Darren Melrose Great photos!
IslaFormosa Apparently there was sausage? I didn’t see any sausage! I love sausage! Nevermind, smartass (see comments).
Textura Design Thanks for hosting this event Byron!
Taipei Blogger Party Video Thanks Mark!
Now, I have to tell about a funny thing that happened. There was a giveaway of some cool stuff (technically, called “scwhag). Byron asked if he could use my hat to put cards into for the drawing. I had no objection of course (except that my hat was a bit sweaty!). But I suggested to Byron that I should disqualify myself from the drawings because my hat was being used, and if I were to win the top prize, well, it could be considered a conflict of interest. Of course, I was joking and Byron laughed it off saying it didn’t matter.
I won the top prize….
Here is the video, embedded for your convenience:
Thanks to Byron and his colleagues for having us!
See you at Blogtoberfest on October 25th!

The jokes on you! In fact ‘sausage fest’ means too many males and not enough females. Get it? Sausages?
You may have to ‘eat’ your words.
“Apparently there was sausage? I didn’t see any sausage! I love sausage!”
Sorry, that was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time!
Cheers!
