Here are a couple videos showing sledding crashes you might find entertaining.

Sledding (and Skiing and Snowboarding) Down Queen Anne Ave

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

I’m proud to say I was among the crazy people sledding, skiing, and snowboarding down Queen Anne Ave this weekend following the snowstorm.

And the Assault on Microsoft Office Continues…

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Google just marked one more Microsoft Office feature off their list — tasks are now integrated into Gmail. Sure, I still use Outlook and like it — but will that change in the next 5 years? At this pace of innovation, probably.

Do You Live Your Life in a Fortress?

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

I certainly hope not. Here’s a passage from The Shack (a great book by the way) worth thinking about:
Lies are a little fortress; inside them you can feel safe and powerful. Through your little fortress of lies you can try to run your life and manipulate others. But the fortress needs walls, so you build [...]
