Today we went snowboarding at Breckenridge with some friends, and met up with friends of theirs (Chris and Kevin)1 up there. Follow all that?
On the lift, we were chatting with Chris and Kevin - covering all the 
small talk 
Turns out Chris ran across my site a while back while surfing for Treo software and still reads it from time to time. I think this is the first time I’ve randomly2 met someone who was already familiar with my site and my work. Cool.
It was great to be back snowboarding again. There was pretty good snow on some runs and it was a little sparse in others. I’m looking forward to going back in 2005 - supposedly the best snow arrives in the new year. It was pretty awesome to have only a 1-1.5 hour drive to the slopes instead of the 4+ hour drive from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe.

- Not in connection with a tech. meeting or convention focused on the industry. [up]

Things like this happen to me in life. You get used to it. My favorite is going to shows for the bands I run sites for and get nearly the same “oh, wow, cool” response that people get for meeting the members of the band.
Now that’s screwed up!
But anyhow … I would totally recognize you if I ran into you in public.

Frankly, I was as amazed as you were. I remember piecing together (Alex + Denver + Develops a PHP-based task management app + Moved from Bay Area) and thinking no way, what’s the chance.
Great meeting you and Heather on Saturday.
Kevin and I headed to Keystone on Sunday. Much better snow there and some great runs for you wideboard people
