BTW, we didn’t get to see much of the lunar eclipse last night, the thunderstorms that rolled through town last night made it pretty obvious that we weren’t going to get much of a look at it, so we watched some of it on TV instead. 🙂

    Just a link for my wife that I spotted over at Scoble’s today, about the changing world of PR in respect to blogs. In fact, I think maybe she should be reading that blog on a regular basis, being the PR person that she is. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful.

    Finally a bit of time to breathe! I’ve been busting my butt most of the afternoon. Had a bunch of database projects get thrown at me at the last minute and have been trying to get all of my “pending” file cleared away so I don’t have to think about any of it this weekend….
