well, my friends... it has happened.
i'm a celebrity.
i was jamming through the pavillion this afternoon and i hear somebody calling me... "Are you Mary -- the one blogging... the MaryMaryQuiteContrary blog?"
Here's who it was...

It's Mark Blair from Macromedia.
You guys, i was so excited to have somebody recognize me, I nearly kissed the poor guy.
we chit-chatted a bit. he was very nice.
he told me he's got a blog and that he was going to link to my blog. i told him i'd do the same if he could tell me how... i don't really know how this stuff works... i'm a marketing girl, remember. don't really get the technical stuff.
anyway, we'll see if we can do some cross-pollenating there....
then i get back to my laptop to get a bit of work done... and i have fan email... from a colleague here at Sun... here's what he said (edited to protect his identity):
