Back from Vacation...Temporarily

Back from vacation...until this Thu., then it's off to FL w/ Tyler and Stacie for a long weekend. Tyler promised kite-boarding and that was enough for me. So it was snow and gnar last weekend and it should be sun and water this weekend.

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on, especially as it relates to new technology/Web2.0/blogging ideas (thanks to Scoble's new book, which I finished during the Breck vacation. Hopefully I'll write and read a whole bunch over this weekend.

Currently Playing: Tapes 'n Tapes - Cowbell
