I try not to delve into work here, but I wanted to share that Yahoo! has finally announced my project: the Yahoo! Application Platform, part of the Yahoo! Open Strategy aka Y!OS. Check out the video below to see the keynote from Web 2.0. Pretty exciting to finally get out of stealth and be able to chat about this.

My Love of Silly Sports: Faceball Edition

10 Apr, 2008  games, personal

Flickr recently launched video functionality for the site. To celebrate, they came down to the main Yahoo! campus to host the “Faceball Executive Showdown”. You may be wondering what Faceball is, and so please check out the official site for an explanation.

I volunteered to compete in the tournament, and after beating our CFO in the first round and someone from the widgets team in the second, I was defeated in the finals by Yahoo! cofounder, David Filo. I put up a valiant fight, and rallied back in the second set, but he was a unstoppable machine and won in the end.

Check out these pictures from competition:
