Lots and lots to tell you about. Details to come. Can't now because I got a hot potato to deal with on this whole thing.

Two big take-aways:

1. Dan Malks is the technical lead on this project. John Crupi is our executive technical sponsor. I think both these guys are going to start blogging soon. Gonzo was in on it from the beginning and he's already talking about it in his blog. I'm gonna tell you about what I'm doing on this project in mine. So you'll get the full skinny on all fronts.

2. Sun Microsystems ROCKS THE HOUSE!

p.s. Have you notice there's been this lingering smell of bacon in the air for the past few weeks or so? That's my rear end. It's been on fire since the day I got this assignment. It's totally out of control how busy I am. The up side is that a) I love my work; and b) I finally figured out a way to shrink my rear end without exercising.




if you want to kiss the sky better learn how to kneel, people.

3. I send you a T-shirt free of charge (postage included).

Jami ROCKS, you guys. She is personally responsible for a substantial shipment of free stuff falling off the truck right in front of my house. You my lovelies -- YOU -- are the personal beneficiaries of this. Please join me in thanking Jami. She's awesome. She also happens to move in mysterious ways.

OK. Gotta go.
