Another Monday, and now three weeks of vacation left ... what shall I do with them?  Perhaps I shall ... blog ...

I had a most interesting product discussion this afternoon with some old friends and new ones who are starting a business; the early days of a new project are always so cool.  Many great ideas, everyone respectful and contributing, a clean focus on what it will take to succeed.  Of course there's a long road ahead for them ...
