The Postal Museum is actually quite good – I was surprised the first few times I visited it. Let me know next time you folks are coming up, and I can point you in the direction of all the great new food places that shouldn”t be missed.

Comment on Drafting Email You’ll Never Send-Probably by Sri

This one made me smile as I am guilty of Level2. I have so many of those emails in my drafts folder. I hope nobody ever sees them. But it is a good record of situations and what my initial reaction was going to be. 10 days, months later when I look at it, I am so glad that I did not send those. Many times I just write it so I can log what my initial reaction is and to learn from it a month later. It helps.

I hear that it is currently relying on Google Reader to work. I hadn”t tried it for that reason. Did you happen to read that or know anything about it?

I read Tim Ferriss, Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Malcolm Gladwell, and the likes. Basically for the same reason you stated here.

Comment on Looking Forward by Dave Schutz

Sorry to hear you”ll miss the 5 week vacation, time off can be good for the soul. The interesting project may be worth not having a long time off, you may never know which would have been better.
I took 4 weeks off when I retired from the military and it was a great break. We travelled cross country, found a new job and home, etc.
I think it”s hard to tell when the future holds and what is best for us. It sounds like you want many different experiences, writing, tech work, etc. Just have to find some way to enhance the many different sides of Andy.
I wish you luck in finding what makes you happy.

but… but.. but … I can clearly see the difference between a premium quality HDMI cable and a normal one. The 1””””s are more 1-er in the premium cable.

Comment on We Need a Place for SQLFamily News by Rod Falanga

This is an excellent idea. A close friend of mine, who was also my co-worker, passed away about 18 months ago. The saddest thing is that his passing has meant almost nothing to those he effected through his diligence and work. I''''''''d like to see something like this come about, to mark major things in people''''''''s lives, or the passing of their lives.

I like this idea, and have a thought on how this could be implemented. I”ll even volunteer to set it up. It”ll be a blog, where all the posts are sql family news. I”ll be the moderator, and probably share that duty with one or two others who may be interested. When anybody has news to share, they email it to the moderators, who post it on the blog. Each email/news item is one blog post. Simple to set up, operate, and read history on.
