What's That Noise?! [Ian Kallen's Weblog]

It's the most wonderful time of the year Perhaps I'm a latino-phile, I dunno.

I've never been to latin america (unless Florida counts). I've never been to Mardi Gras either. But this is the time of the year when the news is filled with pictures of Carnival in Brazil and other great places. And I think it's awesome.

Public displays of non-inhibition are not always pretty but the pictures of the various Carnival celebrations are truly splendiferous. Just a nice reminder that the accepted American narrative of normal and appropriate behavior is clearly deficient. ( Feb 23 2004, 12:03:00 PM PST ) Permalink

Technorati

Who?

I'm Ian Kallen. I'm an entrepreneur and technologist working on Blockboard. My technical interests are focused on mobile, location, cloud computing, big data, real time event systems, search, devops and agile web application code. I'm a long time open source enthusiast and enjoy right-sizing code architecture and infrastructure with the scope and stage a technology startup is operating at.

Previously, I was an independent technology consultant. Prior to that, I did a long stint with Technorati leading the Core Services engineering group in architecting a backend to support search and exploring the web as it changes in real time. I have an eclectic background in technology, publishing, social software and ... life. I like to think: well rounded. I have been online participating in virtual communities since 1988 and developing online resources, services and systems as well as enterprise software since 1991. Once in a while, I have time and inspiration to blog.
