Having looked back at 2009 in my last post, now it is time to look ahead to 2010. Following are my New Year’s resolutions laid out by category. I would like to publish these online and report on regular progress to maintain accountability. Can anyone recommend any good tools for this? Relationships 1. WeeklyContinue reading “2010”

Poken is encroaching on US soil!
One of my coworkers attended SXSW in Austin last week and inadvertently made a big splash for Poken. We found ourselves on the front page of techcrunch, on many US blog sites, and . . . on NPR!!!

YesterdayContinue reading “Good and Bad”

It was cold by my standards, about 20 degrees F, so I really appreciated the Underarmour ColdGearContinue reading “Does life get better than this?”
