while reading books to trey when he was three'ish i used to periodically inject his name into the story and add sentences at the end of a page ... to which trey quickly learned to shout out "turn the page" when he caught me "embellishing the story" as such. good times.

Now it is time for me to "turn the page," so to speak.

June 16th, 2006 is my last day at Sun. It has been a great ride. I have learned a ton during the last 14 years. I've met alot of interesting folks and have been provided with many avenues to explore and realize fun ideas. Thanks a thousand times over.

I will be taking a short break in the coming weeks as the Todd clan travels back to Colorado to introduce our daughter to the grand parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. For grins, I'm also going to see how long I can ride the shark . [that commercial cracks me up and I have been longing for a way to reference it]

Afer the break, I have the good fortune of being able to join up with a small group of folks who are pushing forward some big ideas. It should prove to be fun and elightening on many fronts, big and small.

I do hope my path crosses once again with many of the folks I've had the pleasure to work with and have learned from over years. I consider many of the folks I've worked with via open source projects, namely myjxta friends even though more often then not we never meet in the "real world." I hope to continue such collaborations moving forward time/priorities permitting. I'm eager to work through some interesting ideas I and a few folks have discussed of late.

The world is a small place. Feel free to hit me up at any of the following:

My best to you and yours!
