Visiting Boulder, Colorado, for business. It's a pretty bland trip except for the snow. Snow is sooo cool! Yes, us folks raised in Texas are excited by snow. I've only seen snow stuck to the ground 3 or 4 times in my entire life, including this time.

I'm amused at my business note-taking habits adapted to mini-con D&D playing. I usually make note of the names of people around the table when meeting new clients or coworkers. At an RPG event I need to know both player and character name. :)

I'm not sure I can explain it, but I have a dog-crush on this adorable puppy. My first-ever dog that was all my own (rather than belonging to the family or a sibling) was so ugly he was cute. This dog reminds me of him, but he (or she) is actually on the cuter side than my Oscar was.

I'm on my way to Texas for the weekend. Wish me luck.

I dunno who within my blog readers might be able to help with this, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. On a current work project I need to put together some "best practices" as well as examples from current websites. So, have you seen examples of the following things anywhere? If so, please let me know.

This wearable technology is pretty cool and clearly a step toward the next evolution of wearable computers and internet connected devices. I think the idea of using a projector isn't really all that practical, and, by extension, the means of interfacing with that display is quirky at best. ...but, still, this is pretty amazing given that the total ( Read more... )
