Internship Thoughts

So, today is the last day of my internship with Technorati.

I can’t believe how much has happened, how many people I’ve met and how much cool stuff I’ve gotten to work on in such a sort period of time. I’ve learned a lot about developing software, running a business and how those two things interact.

I start school again tomorrow at USF and am really looking forward to the classes I’m taking this fall.

Thankfully, though, I’ve arranged to stay at Technorati part-time while in school. That’s right- I’m still going to be working at Technorati while in school!

I’ll get to learn even more about balancing multiple ongoing projects (time to go re-read GTD).

Thank you to everyone at Technorati for giving me this opportunity.

    It has been awesome working with you this summer, and looking forward to continuing to do so through the school year.

    Hey man —

    Congrats on completing the internship; it’s so rare to find a good experience like that, and I’m sure you’ve taken a lot of lessons from it. Very cool. :-)

    As far as “getting things done” is concerned, you might like to check out the Hipster PDA (google for more info). Essentially, it’s a stack of 3×5 cards clipped together, and a good pen. I’ve just started using one, and it is indispensable as my “external memory.”

    Paul-
    I actually already have my own hipster PDA, which is integrated with my wallet.

    ..perhaps I need to post a photo of that sometime.

    Ryan — did you ever blog or link to the Hipster? Could be I found it via you to begin with. :-)

    Paul-
    I thought that I had blogged about it, but a search of this site brings up nothing. Hmm
