Leopard for me is next thursday. Waaahhhhh!

I'm going out of town Sun-Thursday this week. My copy of Leopard is on a UPS truck and will arrive monday. I will have to be hundreds of miles from it until Thursday.

Poor me. Have fun rest of the world while I sit and wait...

Why oh why did I sell Apple?!

Apple is up 12 bucks right now, at $186.82. For the record, I sold at $82.24.

Yep, I'm an idiot.

Welcome to the world Ariella!

My friends Matt and Becky had their first baby last night. Weighing in at 7lbs 1 oz, Ariella enters the world with some of the greatest new parents a kid could have.

Welcome Ariella, and congrats to Matt and Becky.

Fredericksburg Slashdot Anniversary Party

This month, Slashdot turns ten(like 10). I'm user number 12353 which is pretty early on the nerd-o-meter. I used to be an avid reader, but my readership has waned of late. "Back in the day" (think 1999) it was not uncommon for me to check Slashdot every 10 minutes to see what news had broken.

The slashdot format was one truly innovative when it was launched and it helped usher in the era of user interaction on the internet.

Anyway, some people (me included) are doing an anniversary party on Oct 23. Signup and details are here.

Back from vacation and on the prowl

We had a great time in Virginia Beach and I've got a new energy and 1000 ideas. We forged some new friendships, stengthened some existing ones and had a ton on family time not really doing anything at all.

Doesn't get any better than that.

I'm on the prowl for partners to execute these new ideas.
