Photo: At Crunchies 2008 Jan 10, 2009
I’ve gotten very jaded about taking photographs at tech events. It’s the same people, in the same types of rooms, all standing in a similar fashion. Thus, I will no longer just blast all my event photos up, as most of them will have been already taken by numerous people.
On the other hand, there are always those few select gems that end up with at the end of the night. I’ll only be posting those. Armed with my spy lens, I discretely took shots around the crowd. I particularly liked this photo of Ed, senior developer on the Scribd iPaper team.

hehehe! Looks like your post here is regarding the event in 2008 or 2009.
I went to the crunchies after party this year and rest assured, it’s just as boring as it was when you went! Yet another tech event where I am delighted to meet one interesting person but otherwise chat awkwardly, stick to my own friends and mingle amongst the demo booths. Actually, I think that event was worse than a normal tech event because the actual geek/nerd ratio in the crowd was low. There seemed to be a lot of media and hollywoodish types there yesterday. It was a bit weird.
I was just googling this morning to see if anybody else thought it was boring. I typed [crunchies "same people"] and your post here was the #1 result.
Great photo btw!
