Sitting in the KC Airport getting ready to leave for a few days of skiing and relaxation in Colorado. We’re going with our friends Amanda and Greg – should be a fun week. Probably not much blogging, but maybe a bit. I’m going to try and stay relatively unplugged this week.
Adobe Community Summit 2006
I’m on my way back from the Adobe Community Summit – an event for User Group Managers and Community Experts. It was a phenomenal week of networking, learning more about the Adobe strategy and product lines, and training. After going through two days of Flex training I’ve got to say Flex is absolutely going to rock the RIA world and …
San Jose
I’m in San Jose this week for some meetings with Adobe. I’m looking for a few good places to eat, particularly something that would be good for a larger group (15-20). Hopefully places in downtown or walkable from downtown. Do I have any blog readers that are familiar with San Jose?
DC: Amsterdam Falafelshop
Amsterdam Falafelshop Originally uploaded by kerner. If I had to pick my favorite restaurants from the trip to DC it would be hard to split the top two. For quick, easy, and late night (although we ate lunch there) food the winner would be the Amsterdam Falafelshop. If you’ve never had falafel you have to try it – perhaps not …
Washington Round Up – Day 2/3
Tuesday we went to the Zoo, National Cathedral, and wandered around the Adams Morgan neighborhood. I think zoos seem much larger when you’re a kid. Overall I was disappointed with the National Zoo experience. I don’t think it was much better than any of the large zoos in other major cities around the country (St. Louis for example — maybe …

Leaving for DC Tomorrow
Sarah and I leave for DC tomorrow. We’re flying out of Kansas City on Midwest Airlines – I love Midwest, not only because the service is better than other airlines these days, but also because of the cookies. I’m going to the Buzz Conference at NCC. I’m very excited about it. Sarah’s taking a week of vacation, and I’ve slid …
MAX 2005 – Anaheim
I’ve been getting ready to leave for a week of learning, networking, and fun at what will probably be the last Macromedia conference. I’ve been going to Macromedia conferences for years (several in San Francisco, New York, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, etc) — actually the only one I’ve missed in a LONG time was the Orlando one after the …
Santa Fe: Sugar’s BBQ
DSCN9996.JPG Originally uploaded by kerner. Sugar’s BBQ is the ideal sort of BBQ restaurant — basically a metal shack in the middle of nowhere with great food. Situated in Embudo, on the highway between Santa Fe and Taos, Sugar’s is one of Gourmet magazines top 10 drive-ins. There is no indoor seating, just a bunch of tables with umbrellas to …

Santa Fe: Cowgirl BBQ & Cafe
DSCN0127.JPG Originally uploaded by kerner. Wednesday night we had dinner at Cowgirl BBQ & Cafe one of the few restaurants in Santa Fe that is open later than 9pm. After Bandelier and a very late lunch at Sugar’s dinner after 9 was a requirement. We sat on the patio which was a bit chilly, but there was live music and …
Santa Fe Update
