Today was my final day in DC. After checking out of the hotel, Stacey and I abandoned our bags, and hit the White Flint Metro. We debated about going to the Mall to a Smithsonian museum or the music festival they were having, but ultimately decided to go to the National Zoo since we had […]
I started today with “CFMX Mobile SMS Applications Made Easy”. It was interesting to see the possibilities opened with this functionality in CF 7. After this, I attended the House of Fusion’s book auction in the sponsor area. I can’t believe that more people didn’t show up for this! Maybe it was because there was […]
Today opened with “Designing and Coding for Search Engines”. This session pointed out several issues relating to how to improve your site’s ranking, some of which I was aware of, others that I wasn’t. After this, I attended “SQL Server Performance Tuning”, which I would say was the most relevant session to my current work […]
Today started off with a great keynote about the direction of CF from Ben Forta and Tim Buntel, as well as a short overview of each of the presenters’ upcoming sessions. Following the keynote, I attended the CFML Developer’s Guide to .NET and SQL Server 2005 for CF Developers before lunch. Both of these sessions […]

I heard this on the radio this morning and thought I would share (courtesy of G105)… 1. Don’t order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House. It’s just a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you confuse them, they’ll kick your ass. 2. Don’t laugh […]
Coldplay is coming to Raleigh! Bring on the presale!!! MTV News – Coldplay Kick Off 36-City Twisted Logic Tour In August
This weekend, Stacey and I made the quick (55 min) flight to Philly for the U2 in concert at the Wachovia Center! Needless to say, U2 did not disappoint! They kicked some serious ass! I would have to say that it was probably the best concert I’ve been to in my life! If only I […]
This weekend, while in the DC area for Stacey’s brother’s college graduation, we stopped at Wegmans in Fairfax County! For anyone not familiar with this store, it is simply awesome. There is no other grocery store that has all the features of Wegmans. Every time I go inside, I am reminded how superior they are. […]
