Ben Finklea Rides the Whale
OK, OK. Yes, I rode the whale. :-)
As I mentioned a few days ago, I challenged Dries Buytaert, the founder and project lead of Drupal, to ride a mechanical whale on Bourbon Street while we were at Do It With Drupal last week. He took me up on my challenge and Dries Rode the Whale.
It seems that I "forgot" to post my video so, here you go:
It's a lot harder than it looks, especially when you're wearing slacks. The vinyl whale was SLICK. My favorite part is that I had been drinking substantially less than Dries that night and he was able to stay on the whale significantly longer than I did.
Anyway, we had a great time and I look forward to DIWD again next year.
Competitors were outranking me because I was nowhere to be seen. My website was probably 20 or 30 pages back until I engaged with Volacci… Now I’m getting phone calls from people saying ‘I found you on the Internet’.
