Unfortunately, the project that I was working on with PHPMotion has been derailed!

I was really looking forward to carrying through with it and getting pretty deep into the PHPMotion product. I guess I’ll need to look for another opportunity. Bummer.

As I was driving to work this morning, for whatever reason, I began to think about our traffic systems … specifically about the right-hand and left-hand drive systems.

Does it have anything to do with the specific environments within which automobiles were developed? Does it have anything to do with most people being right-handed? Might it have anything to do with individual vs. group focus in different societies? Many potential scenarios run through my imagination.

The Glass Family in Santa Fe

Last Monday, June 8, Melissa and I got married! It was a small, private ceremony at the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM. Only Melissa, Taylor (my 9-year-old step-son) and I were there.

The staff was incredibly hospitable, surprising us with rose petals and a congratulatory card on the dining table and providing us with complimentary appetizers and chocolate truffles for dessert. The waitstaff and the manager were incredible … charming and attentative. They really made the three of us feel very special and welcome at the restaurant. (more…)
