Happy 4th of July!

Starting to look a bit like spring in Traverse City. One of my favorite times of the year. I love drinking green tea and watching the sun come up in my office. After the long (really long) winter, looking forward to this summer. What are your plans for this summer?

I ended up watching the inauguration of Barack Obama in my office at work today thanks to Hulu. I had planned on watching it on cnn.com, but they were maxed out. Funny, since they had advertised that they were partnering up with Facebook to bring you the stream. Oh well, Hulu did the job, even [...]
