Have just started blogging again, as you may have noticed, after a long hiatus.  Not quite as long as some, but still, it was a while.

Italy was amazing - the people over there (and in France, too, incidentally) just have a different way of living life than we do in the states.  Quality Of Life is more important than Getting Things Done.  A rushed meal, without savoring food and wine and conversation, seems unthinkable in Europe.  And Siesta!  What a great concept, although those of us used to instant gratification can get a little frustrated trying to shop between 1 and 4...  Most of the trip was just like being in a painting or a storybook.  Amazing place.  Here are some pictures from the trip if you're interested.

Incidentally, Illy is wonderful stuff.

Just discovered TopCoder - very cool!  If only I had the free time for this, I'd play.  The practice rooms are fun regardless, though, and good for keeping your weird-problem chops up to snuff.  I think it's interesting that they're positioning themselves as a hiring tool - makes a lot of sense, although coding skill is really only part of what makes a good member for your team.
