Across the [technological] pond
I haven't been writing much here recently for a few reasons.
1. Seattle is *very* nice in the summer time. Why stay inside blogging when you can go to the Center for Wooden Boats in Lake Union, Pike Place market, or take a ferry to Bainbridge?
2. Got married. We got married back home in Kansas City which took a while to plan for, especially since we were doing it all long distance. Afterwards we went to San Francisco for a few days and took the Coast Starlight train back. It's a very pretty ride, but I recommend you get a sleeper car. It's hard to sleep in coach and you don't get all the dining benefits the sleeper car has.
3. Changed jobs. I'm working on the Mac client for Live Mesh. I found the perfect job; not only do I get to work on UI and client code, but I get to spend my day on Macs (and sometimes PCs). Sure, compared to what I'm used to, the APIs are all different, the language is different, the OS is different, but that's the fun of it.
