Forgive the blog absence…it's been a busy time. Retail Presents is changing its name to InStorecard; any change is a good one. After all of the hard work for the last few months, we have received our initial VC funding (YAY!), so it means we have at least a year to make this company the next Microsoft.

As for me, work has been my life. Loving the ferry ride every day: talk about decadence! The new Ferry building, and especially Taylor's Automatic Refresher (great name, no?), are a dream.

I'm struggling this weekend with illness (fever) and trying to get better: strange, it just hit me on Friday, just after lunch. Was in bed all day since Friday evening.

What else? Had 2 memorable steak dinners last week: 1 at the House of Prime Rib, courtesy of Lani Chin's Superbowl prognostications (thanks, Lani!), and one at my boss/partner/chief pain in the ass' house when he missed his last ferry and I gave him a ride home. What a meal! And Kristen cooks like that every night? No wonder Mark's a triathelete!

Looking forward to P's return, and my health improving!  ¶ 11:36 AM

  A cool site, with a map showing all the states I've visited. Thanks to Rachel for this link!

  My Jabra FreeSpeak has been the best cell accessory ever, but the battery is dying. The new Jabra BT250 FreeSpeak Bluetooth Headset takes care of that, but at a hefty price. My friend Stephanie has already ordered hers; I'm jealous. May have to break down on it...  ¶ 2:20 AM

  Ok, I admit, when I saw Janet Jackson's titillating display at the Superbowl, I was amused. However, I did not realize the extent of her hardware, until I saw these photos. Yikes!  ¶ 12:48 PM
