Sad news of Ted Kennedy’s passing.
An imperfect man, whose life was marked by tragedy. And yet he managed to take it all in and transmute those flaws into the energy to drive a historic Senate career with a far-ranging legacy.
I like to think that finally he is reunited with his martyred brothers, and that they greeted him with a welcoming hug and told him, “well done”.

My colleague Serge built this cool widget for Adobe MAX:
One of the “fun facts” includes Adobe Groups — thanks Serge for remembering us!
It’s been more than a month since my last post. Sorry about that. It’s been hectic lately. Getting promoted tends to do that. 🙂
Last week, though, was even crazier than usual. Here’s a rundown:
A week ago Saturday: wake up to the news that Scott’s grandmother had died. Cancel all plans for next few days, book flights, get emergency petsitting in gear, frantic packing. 6 hours later, on a plane to NYC. (NB: flying United is just no fun when compared to Virgin America or even JetBlue.)
Sunday & Monday: Long Island / Brooklyn. Lots of time with the in-laws, the funeral, sitting shiva.
Tuesday: Bid farewell to the in-laws, head into Manhattan for a fast visit and lunch with my mother. Then book it back out to JFK for a flight to Dulles. (NB: the JetBlue terminal at JFK is really nice.)
Wednesday – Friday: Attend CF United, meet with as many community people as possible, spend time in the Adobe booth handing out t-shirts, participate in the Community / User Group BoF, talk, talk, and talk some more. Exhausting, but had a fantastic time. The CF community rocks and the venue was excellent.
Friday: fly home (United still thoroughly uninspiring). Walk off airplane with a massive head cold and a 102-degree fever. Stagger home, climb into bed. Stay there.
Saturday & Sunday: head cold hell. Sleep a lot, load up on drugs, pray for fever to break.
Sunday night: finally starting to feel human again. Still have not unpacked from the trip (wrote this blog post instead).
Hopefully next week will be a little calmer.
