I'm having a bit of writer's block peeps. There is so much to talk about, but I fear I may be talked out in the short term. Sometimes an event of CommunityOne/JavaOne's magnitude can do that to a marketing gal like me. So I was whining via twitter that I just couldn't budge this writer's block and threw out a call for writing prompts. My senior director, one of the most stylish people I know, told me to write about the shoes I was wearing.

Now, I work from home full time. I think that needs to be said. And, when working from home, I find comfort is king. Just saying. So today I'm wearing flip flops. I love flip flops. I would say 9 times out of 10 between the months of April and October (I live in Cali) you'll find me in flip flops. They can be beaded, embroidered, embellished, or plain....I love them all. And have quite the collection. Today's pair come from Old Navy and are gold metallic. Classy, I know. But they are easy, comfy, and cool. And with temperatures reaching 100 today, a necessity.

So there you have it. I'm a flip flop addict.

We'll return to our regularly scheduled blogging tomorrow! ;)

Congrats to Gautam! Not only will he be attending CommunityOne and JavaOne for FREE, he's just won the Sun Spot too!

Hey Guys,

We have our WINNERS! I've sent y'all email seperately...but congratulations to:
Kurt, Paul, Jack, Maneesha, and Micheal!!!

Enjoy the conference and come by the SDN booth when you get a chance!

AMAZING offer brought to you by us folks in SDN-land. Check it out. If
you are not an SDN member but would like to be, the time has come my
friends. I have been given FIVE passes to JavaOne and will give them to
the first five folks who email me at: heidi dot dailey at sun dot com.
Here are the rules:

So I am back at work this week after a wonderful two week vacation that included (not in any particular order): sledding, christmas parties (yes, plural), gourmet meals, lots of chocolate, discovering the wonder that is Whole Foods (hold me, I feel my grocery budget going out the window), visiting a dear friend on her cool sailboat, and lots and lots of family downtime.

But now I'm back in the game kids! And let me tell you, the next few months leading up to JavaOne are going to be insane! I hope you will come along for the ride :)

We are fast approaching Thanksgiving. I am not hosting the event this year, my Mother in Law is. I'm only in charge of stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, and gravy. With such a simple list, you'd think there would be no issue right? Wrong. I have in my arsenal three terrific stuffing recipes. And the terrificness (I know, not a word, stay with me here) of said recipes has been independently verified by non-partial family and friends. So they are, in fact, crowd pleasers. So my problem is this: which one to make. 

Dear readers, please help me out here. My recipes include the standard sourdough and sage stuffing, apple and cranberry stuffing, and cornbread and sausage stuffing. Which sounds best to y'all? Or could I bring three smaller batches (one of each)? What would you do? I'm driving The Husband crazy with  debating of the merits of each recipe so I'm leaning on y'all to help me out.

Happy Monday!

Congratulations to Melanie and James. Each of you will receive a Java 10th Anniversary t-shirt. Just mail you address to heidi dot dailey at sun dot com and I"ll pop your prize in the mail next week.

And, since Melanie did mention Facebook it seems appropriate to remind all of you to join the Sun Developer Network group on Facebook. We're waiting for you!

Have a great weekend y'all!

Heidi 

Hey Guys!

In honor of Tuesday... and the fact that I love my readers (especially since half of y'all are probably related to me...Hi Mom!) I'm doing a little giveaway from my personal stash of SDN goodies. All you need to do is post your favorite social media site in the comments. I'll randomly select two winners and announce them on Friday. Get commenting y'all!


 

Live DJ. Cool People. In Club Java on Sun's Main Campus. 'Nuff said.

I'll be hosting an SDN Halloween Party in Second Life on, of course, 10/31 at 3pm PST in Club Java. There will be a live DJ and cool folks to chat with. Hope you can join us.

 I'm off for a week to vacation in Hawaii. So Aloha for now, my friends! :)
 

This is cool. And I'm not gonna lie. I love that Tommy Jr. is 100% Java. I also have to admit that I'm a little creeped out about cars driving themselves, but I'll get over it. Especially if it means that someday, I won't have to navigate I-80 in rush hour traffic myself. I could be napping. Or eating a sandwhich. A messy one. 

:) Heidi
