So, I have to say the biggest acheivement for me this year has been teaching my daughter how to ride a bike. She finally got it last night and I don’t think I’ve seen her smile so much since Christmas. We had originally bought her a new bigger bike without training wheels, but ended up…

Really have been getting alot fo cool tech stuff done lately. Have gotten into the podcasting thig in a serious way. It’s still too hard to find casts I’m interested in, but its still small and clubbly, like the early days on the internet. Alot of fun and I forgot how much I like just…

Spent a week in Paris and London lately. Had a great time in both, but really had a good time in London. The pubs were great and the people were really nice. My wife came over for one day in Paris and we spent the weekend in London. I had a work day on Monday…
