Okay Napa Valley
Here's some footage from a recent weekend trip with a few friends up to Napa Valley. We visited the Domaine Chandon, V. Sattui, Rutherford Ranch and Andretti wineries. And here's a first for me: it's in 16:9 widescreen HD! For the full effect, check it out bigger and better on Vimeo.

Productivity Up 10%
LeechBlock is the single best productivity tool I've used in the past few years. It's a plug-in for Firefox that lets you block certain websites during a specified time period, like during work hours. So now I can't visit Facebook, YouTube, Digg, and a handful of other time-draining sites until I get home at night. You can even lock the preferences so you don't cave in and edit your list for a quick workaround.
And while we're on the subject of productivity, I've been trying to follow the ideas behind Inbox Zero as well for the past few months...so far, so good!

Okay Buenos Aires
I finally got around to putting this video snapshot together from my trip to Buenos Aires. I'm behind on videos...coming within the next month or so will be footage from a Hawaii cruise, an Okay Samurai San Francisco visit, and Napa Valley in Wine Country!

Happy 2008
Happy new year! It was refreshing to be back home in DC for the holidays. Looking forward to an exciting year of video game launches (Atmosphir), adventures (trips to Hawaii and Vail are coming up in the next couple of months), more videos and website updates (yeah right Dave, you always say that), and more.
