A shocker-Danskin, the been around forever selling ballet and dance supplies company-is stopping all orders/shipments for 6 months.

On the plane at CDG. Evan is happy with his memento - our room key (which we took by accident). Annika won't let me off so easy

On the train to CDG airport Au revoir Paris -I think Evan would like to stay

1:30AM Paris - getting ready to come home. Evan had great day - surprise! - kid is quite the traveler and wearing me out with late nights.

At port versaille waiting for a client -gotta pay for the trip somehow...:)

Evan passed his test of strength. He beat me up the steps of Sacre Couer - badly. Dad's out of shape

Good day - on the Eiffel Tower - great view

Jetlag caught up with us - slept until noon! Did Notre Dame and the crypts-now out to dinner with a classmate and then St. Chapelle concert

Evan and I are sitting on the right bank of the Seine hanging out with local kids, listening to music at midnight. Welcome to real life, son

Great day at Versaille - exhausting but great. now jet lag has hit big time :(

Just shopped for lunch at Versaille market-typical French central marketplace-no English spoken here-Rosetta Stone here I come

finished my latest blog post - time to get Evan up and out on a bike ride to Versaille. This will be a real treat. Never been to Versaille.

Here's a second green social network - doing an "America's Greenest Campus Competition" - interesting WOMM play - http://ping.fm/6l4M2

Interested in being green? Here is one interesting social media site to engage with. http://ping.fm/gka3Q

Up early in Paris-either jetlag or that cheese plate we had-I was introducing Evan to French style meals-dinner, salad, cheese, dessert. heavy

5 hours at the Louvre today-exhausting but well worth it. Wan't intentional-Evan was enjoying the early Mesopotamia wing-fits with school.

Testing mB of message to see plan impact..$512/MB if over limit

Treated evan to a cab from the airport so he could see the outskirts of Paris - talk about the American peso - $75. - last tiime $35!

Treated evan to a cab from the airport so he could see the outskirts of Paris - talk a out the American peso - $75. - last time $35!

The boys have landed in Paris. Evan's first test is to get a cab to the hotel without getting taken

waiting to board flight to Paris. Evan's reading To Kill a Mockingbird for school. What dedication. I'm charging a laptop battery

The reasonable man adapts himself 2 the world; the unreasonable 1 persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. All progress depends on the unreasonable man.

American's coach class is a bit tighter (ummm Evan can you please take the elbow out of my stomach)...:(

Can't get facebook at 30,000ft - they probably like to keep their feet on the ground, so to speak, until they go public :)

We are on the plane-once on board had him open 1 present-his Paris tour book. He's can't believe he didn't sus out the conspiracy. Ha!

On the road-evan is clearly wondering what is up - he asked...silence back

Evan has big surprise tomorrow-he's going to Paris for his 13th birthday (with me). Has no clue - I'll wake him at 5:30. he he!

Finished first meeting in Palo Alto - special errands and then a lunch meeting. Good, busy day

Working away this am - getting ready for meetings with international clients and lunch at Joya (will have to watch the weight, for sure)

Back from Mikhail's Navy meet-Annika placed 3rd overall and 1st on beam. Nice improvement over last week - but still miles to go to zones

readying for Annika's second meet of the year in San Mateo-hoping to see good progress over last week-when she qualified for post season.

good article about how well online retailers are doing in natural search http://ping.fm/utVSe

Put the work aside for the day. Off to our friends yearly end of summer party - gonna be lots of fun to see longtime (not old!) friends

I love Yammer becaue of 1 feature-it sends a daily email showing my latest posts. Wish I got 1 from all 30 of my channels-I'd know they work

Looks like I've recovered from the breach, now it's back to what i was supposed to do when I got up early today. A bike ride!

About to go on a client call - spent most of the am debugging and ensuring my systems are clean from yesterdays hack.

The new website just got hacked, darnit! .Llooks like the Gumblar virus. Exploits a hole in Adobe flash and Acrobat to gain ftp logins. Here's the fix http://ping.fm/aZdVQ

Home writing the blog (yea) and doing finances (boo). There is never enough time, is there?

back home after meetings in the Bay Area. working on finances and feeding the family (food, I mean). Very punny.... :)

well, I fixed some crawl errors on my sites -- but created one big one - it it this 'network unreachable' error - hard to debug

up early running numbers, the lots of meetings - hopefully will have time to blog today. coffee more coffee...

Celebrated Evan's birthday - now time to bed - another early morning trying to stay one step ahead of projects.

Did a 2-hour ride around Ft Ord with Will Wong. Good exercise - helps to bring your spine doctor along for the ride :)

Distractions all day Fixed crawling issues on the new website-I love .htaccess files-especially with the great Apache documentation (not!)

5:30 AM conference call with Europe. Have my (strong) Pete's coffee, ready to go for the week
