Easter Snaps

My kids love Easter.

This afternoon they set the table with some gifts for the Easter Bunny.

Here are some snaps of the table setting and the assorted ornaments, offerings, letters and gifts.

Remote Control Blimp

My post about my adventures with the VSTO blimp has generated a few comments both on the blog and at work.

So here's the story behind it.

At TechEd 2004, BJ Holtgrewe from the VSTO Team brought a number of these remote control blimps. At the end of the event, he gave most of them away to attendees, and thanks to some friends on the inside, I managed to get a small blimp.

Last weekend we launched it and the kids have had a lot of fun with it since.

I don't know where BJ bought the blimps from, but I have found a great US site which sells them online in a whole range of sizes. Even their phone number is cool: 1-888-4-A-BLIMP. They are not cheap, but look really cool!
