Congrats!
I see Blogger has been profiled in the latest issue of Fortune magazine as a cool technology. I was interested to see that Blogger's "offices" were not in a SF high-rise or SOMA warehouse and did not have one Aeron chair in sight. I guess you can build a successful (one assumes) business without all those dotcom acoutrements. Ahem, I have two Aeron chairs in my house, but I got them when our SF office was closed (paid $100 each) so I consider them as part of my severance package.
In other news, I've completed my corporate communications final paper and now have a healthy dislike of ExxonMobil and its CEO, Lee Raymond. He's the CEO who, when Exxon bought Mobil, decided that Mobil's domestic partners benefits could hit the street as they merged. He also thinks global warming is bunk and that the US should not sign the Kyoto accord. If you're curious, the Brits have a boycott going called Stop Esso that, given the ferocity of ExxonMobil's response, must be hurting.
To celebrate D's new job, we're going to Pensacola for the weekend! Yea!! All the hotels are full for some high school band competition, so it should be an interesting time on the beaches and at Emerald City.
