Having a great time key at the Florida Keys. This was a much needed break.

The hotel we are staying in is in Key Largo and yesterday we drove down to Key West and spent the whole day there. We did the touristy stuff, lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and diner at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and then topped it off with a romantic sunset cruise of the reefs complete with champagne for watching the sunset which was breathtaking. Pictures will be posted to my Flickr account soon.

Today we had a milestone. This was the first time that my wife has ever been in the ocean. The picture in the upper right-hand corner of this post is the view of the Atlantic Ocean from our room and we just stepped right outside and went in.

First we started off by renting a wave runner (1st time ever being on one of these things), and we ended up capsizing on our first run (Note from Diane "Mike was driving!"). Then we got back up and did pretty good and cruised around for about 30 min.

More later....

I was listening to the the last installment of the TWIT (This Week In Tech) podcast and heard something that just floored me.

The moderator, Leo Laporte, was speaking with a guest named Jason Calacanis who was speaking about what Microsoft does with their applications. What really got me is the statement he made around the 19:52 mark in the podcast:

"Look at what they (Microsoft) did with Lotus 1-2-3. Look at what they (Microsoft) did to Lotus Notes"

Does he really think that Lotus Notes is owned by Microsoft? We should all pray to the binary gods that never becomes reality.
