Flashdance

With the launch of the iPad, Steve Jobs fired a shot at Adobe’s widely used Flash platform, calling the company “lazy” for not committing to stronger Flash updates as the 14 year old system ages.

Komen Race for the Cure. We raised some money, had some fun and felt pretty good about supporting a cause we believe in.

On February 7, 2010, we’re hoping and praying (and knocking wood and …) that the Saints will be winning another game in Miami.
