long time, no blog

I humbly apologize for my lack of blogging.  It's been crrrazy with work around here, and unfortunately all that hard work went down the tubes - we've been planning a huge event and all of the plans were washed away with the rain the was pouring down today.  What a bummer.  It's really disappointing to know that everything that I've been done is completely incomplete - there is no resolution for all of my expectations.  Well, life goes on.  Rather busy week ahead - work, of course, and I've planned ahead some stuff with my friends (gasp!) as well as Robin.  I also have a buddy from school coming to visit! Way cool. 
 
Check out this article.  I would be really interested in some feedback on it.

Eric, is this a new setup for the blog writing page?  I see a lot more options than I did before.
