Today we honor the servicemen and servicewoman who have defended our country. It is only fitting that we take one day a year to pause and give thanks to these braves people and their families for what they have done to protect our freedoms.

I like them big, but this is too big. I mean, day-uum!

This week and next is the big tekkie gathering in Austin called SXSW. The first week is for computer geeks and then the second week is for musicians. This is the one trade show that I would be willing to pay my own way. If I can’t get a gig with a company to send me next year, maybe I will just pony up and go on my own.
