Shameless Plug...

For my company.  Our marketing folks just posted this little movie about our upcoming Winter 2011 release (coming in early February).  There are no technical details here; it's just setting the scene for them.

I love it that we do things like this movie!

Winning the Future...

As many others, including Sarah Palin, have observed: Obama's State of the Union theme “Winning the Future” is the wrong phrase to describe his leadership, but it's the right acronym.  The graphic is already viral...

Awesome.

She's Back!

Rachel Lucas is posting again, albeit only occasionally.  Here's one destined to be a classic: “Noodles that are Wrong”.

I go to work with a smile on my face on those days when Rachel has a new post...

M78 (in Orion)...

Jeez, it never looked like this in my telescope!  From APOD, of course...

Holey Moley!

It's like Christmas for geeks!

Sometimes, You're Just Amazed...

Just over a month ago, Frankie joined our little development team.  She keeps a blog that I think of as part of her recovery plan – recovery from a profoundly sad event in her life a couple of years ago (I'll let her tell that story through her blog).  The blog is called “Hope Rising”; a title that is hopeful in and of itself.

Well, this morning I visited her blog for the first time in a few days, and found this beautiful post.  The paragraph below was just one of several that I stopped and reread a few times:

My pursuit of hope introduced me to what I have come to call the space in between. The place in my life where what was is gone and what will be has yet to be revealed. It’s the place where the only road available is the one forged with decisions and consequences of my past and my only power is in choosing the demeanor with which I walk it. For me that road was letting go of Arielle and walking that road in pursuit of hope was my spoken choice.

Arielle is the subject of the sad event. The post this comes from is all about Frankie being ready to run in her first half-marathon – which she did on the next day.  That's her at right, crossing the finish line.

I'm proud to know you, Frankie.  And I'm looking forward to knowing you better...
