Taking a critical look at market and technology development around the enterprise space.


ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā) noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin elementum. In this case, also related to the modern French mentir, to lie. (adapted from Dictionary.com)


About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski.

Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff.

Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's.

Fun with the thinking man’s drinkers

So last night Mike and I had a rocking soirĂ©e with 60 or so folks who I can only describe as the thinking man’s drinkers. Geeks and nongeeks, boys and girls - all very cool people.

Despite my best efforts to astonish with tasty snacks, the highlight of the evening was absinthe brought by Robert Rich and his wife Dixie. Side note, Robert injured his right hand horrifically a couple months ago and is blogging about the recovery process. Last week, Dave McClure blogged about heroism the other day, and this is my nomination for heroism in our time.

Many thanks to all who came - we might have something else next weekend, we have a TON of leftover beer. I thought this picture of the 23 different kinds of beer we have left would speak volumes. Yeah, I was playing with my camera a couple weeks ago and left it with the datestamp setting on. Oh well.


I didn’t blog about this because I wanted to make sure I knew the people who showed up. And we do, after all, just have an apartment. If you missed the evite, email me and I’ll make sure to add you to my contacts for next time. :-)

So thank you to everyone who came - we had a ton of fun and you were great guests. Our kitchen still is a bit of a mess, but the rest of the place is almost as clean as it was when started.
