• IE8 preview at MIX

  In case you didn't hear, Dean Hachomovitch will be showing off IE8 during one of the keynotes at MIX. I remember just 2 years ago when Dean stood up during his keynote at the first MIX.

• Time to start blogging again

  As many of you have noticed I've taken a break from this blog during the last couple months. In my mind the break was well deserved, though perhaps a bit over-extended.

  I came home from work early today as I wasn't feeling too well. I walked into the apartment and Jasmine was home from Kindergarten (she turned six in October).
