Update!

May 29, 2006 filed under Personal

The HipCal+Plaxo media coverage is starting to come to an end, but life has not gotten any less hectic by any means.

Promptly after final exams, the HipCal team flew to Mountain View, CA to get up to speed on what we’ll be doing there. We were also fortunate enough to have a weekend to ourselves for checking out San Franciso and also some houses in the area that we could live in.

Highlights of the California trip included getting cozy in our desks at Plaxo, the HipCal party, checking out Houses that we could possibly live in, checking out the sights in San Francisco and my favorite, In-N-Out Burger!

In other news, I’m finally a college graduate! I received my first diploma as a Bachelor of Science in Management.

I will be receiving my second diploma as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in August, after I complete a four credit math course in any given College in California.

I still haven’t decided which college to take the course in, let me know if you have any suggestions!

Although we ended up skipping most of the senior week activites, I definitely made up for it after getting back to NY.

The Lally School of Management dinner turned out to be a lot of fun. To the left is a picture with Lauren and Kristin, in my opinion, two of the heavy hitters of our Management Class.

I’m in NYC right now, meeting up with as much family and friends as possible. The details of the roadtrip are still being worked out, and it’s stressful as hell, an update for all that will be coming soon!

Hipcal gets acquired by Plaxo!

HipCal officeI’ve been meaning to start up tawheedkader.com for a good 4 years now. I figured today would be a better day than any to finally bring this site online! Why today you ask?

The official announcement was finally made today! While a lot of the members of the team just wanted to blurt out at any given family function how we actually have jobs and aren’t just some crazy frat boys working on a site called MyPIMP, we just couldn’t until today!

Anyway, after many nights of PHP coding, listening to Pete sing songs about my Bangladeshi-ness to the tune of his guitar and listening to Garret complain about how crazy of an idea Daylight Savings Time is, we’ve come to a point that confirms to the five of us that we’re not crazy after all. Then again, maybe we are, and maybe that’s why HipCal became so successful in such a short period of time.
