Interesting perspective, Marc. Not sure if you or your readers have been following the headlines, but this article might shed some additional light on the company's recent history.

How sad. I was just there, barely a week ago, shooting pics of the outside because I happened to be in the area. I understand Orser's frustration: Turning buildings like this around needs to happen on a faster timetable: http://bit.ly/TYwVn7

Re: Microsoft Surface First Reactions

Great first take on Microsoft's new babies! I'm impressed with the hardware execution, as well as Microsoft's fundamental decision to go it alone and build its own hardware. It puts it in direct competition with its hardware vendor-partners, but I'm guessing MS sees this as a necessary part of shifting its focus. And survival, frankly.

I'm most concerned about the dual-channel approach. If iPad can survive and thrive with essentially one offering that covers all bases, I'm not sure why Microsoft thinks a confusing two-tiered, differently-compatible lineup is necessarily better. It isn't.

So nice to see the rails to trails movement having such a significant local impact. You've motivated me to stretch my own legs and point my bike toward similar projects in our hinterland. Problem is they're nowhere near my house, so I risk burning myself out long before I get there.

I guess that's both a challenge and an opportunity. Thanks for the inspiration!

Not a day goes by that I don't wonder why life has to work this way, why loss is such an inevitably core component of our time on this planet.

I don't have the answer, and I suspect I never will. But please know you're never alone, and as long as you hold onto the remarkable memories of a remarkable person who shaped your life and the lives of everyone around you, the loss is never really complete. Two years after losing my father, it's those memories that sustain me, convince me that there is some kind of higher purpose to this process, after all.

May her memory always be a blessing.

Seeing your parents through the lens of their daughter helps me understand even more how you became who you are today. What a wonderful tribute to two clearly special people. I wish them many more years of togetherness - and, selfishly, more peeks into their journey courtesy of you.

This inspires me to continue to lay down similarly long, and long-lived, roots in my own marriage and family. Come to think of it, you're always inspiring me to be better.

You're a good soul for rescuing him from his own stupidity. I can think of any number of people who would have found another, less altruistic path.

On second though, he IS a cutie :)

I love this shot. Such dimension and depth...I can almost feel the warmth of the sun rising off the vanes of the blinds.

I so wish I had a Cheesecake Factory nearby. Canadians miss out on so much :)

I love the stark simplicity of this shot, Steve. Even cooler is that you grabbed it as you arrived at work. You so get it!

So let's see. Does this work?

Great to see you, Steve!

These aren't photos. They're paintings. You are freakishly gifted.

I am deeply sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine last week, also after a long illness, also after years of reflection and difficulty, also just after a visit with him. Writing about him and his life has proven somewhat cathartic, but I'm learning that no words, no memories can make up for the fact that I no longer have someone to ask the really difficult questions.

Please know you and your family will be in my prayers. May we all only know happiness in the years to come, and may your father's memory always be a blessing.

Re: So I’m at the Laundry Cafe…

OMFG, this is SO cool! We totally live in a freaky cool new world, and I'm tickled that we managed to pseudo-connect over the various Maytags.

We're due for at least one more trip back - seriously, the laundry pile is going to start generating heat if we leave it there for much longer - so please no slinking if I see ya, k? You've totally made my day with this, and I can't wait to have a great laugh in person.
