I love Bluetooth. For me, Bluetooth support was the second most important feature when I chose my last cell phone (GSM coverage in as many countries as possible was number one). I use a Bluetooth headset (think cell phone earpiece but without any wires, dial and answer right from the little...
It's been a while since I spoke to a CFUG in Chicago, and so I am pleased to announce that I'll be in the windy city next week (October 8th) at the Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus (in beautiful downtown). Details are on the CFUG web site at http://www.cccfug.org/. See you there!
Over the past few months I have met with over twenty user groups, briefed about a dozen members of press, visited dozens of customer sites in numerous countries, and addressed more conferences than I can recall. In all, I have had the opportunity to chat about ColdFusion with hundreds (or...

It's been a while since I was last in Brazil, and so I'm excited to announce that I'll be visiting South America's largest country again in October (I have been craving a genuine caipirinha, but that is not the primary objective for the trip, I promise). The trip will be during the week of October...

Hello from Germany, this time in Nürnberg (most famous for the 1945-1946 Nürnberg trials in which former Nazi leaders were indicted and tried as war criminals). I spent most of the day today talking to ColdFusion partners and users to get their views on what the next ColdFusion should...
Oscar Trelles has posted a Flash MX 2004 crack on his blog (http://www.oscartrelles.com/blog/archive.php?post_id=1063726883), he's written a serial number generator. Oscar, I only wish you could capture and post the facial expressions of happy users, you rock!
Hello from Japan! I arrived in Tokyo a few hours ago and am now back online. I had forgotten just how far Narita airport is from Tokyo, sitting on a bus for close to 2 hours after a l-o-n-g flight is no fun. I vote for airport relocation!
Apparently, Barnes and Noble has bought Google keyword sponsorship for my name. Any time someone enters my name as a search term, up comes B&N's sponsored link. This is quite an honor, I think.
