Some indeed random thoughts

Its been a year since I took a break.. I think Its time that I did that.. How and where should I go I have still not made up my mind on.. But a monsoon break will be a welcome respite..

I would say The return of the Atlantis space shuttle, The presidential election nominations, Some very heavy showers and some friends coming over for the weekend. I will be doing some cool stuff over the week. If it is successful we will have created a really cool application. I think I love what I am doing right now. The day I get bored it will be time to move on.. Powered by ScribeFire .
