December has already been a very eventful and exciting month.  It's also been a semi-difficult time to blog because there are so many things that I'm doing that are NDA and I find it difficult to derive topics from thin air.  I'd rather post about things that are relevant and applicable in what I'm doing.

I have the opportunity this week to spend time in beautiful Longmont, Colorado.  And when I say beautiful, I mean it.  It's not a luscious, colorful place (at least not in December), but it's definitely pleasant and rural.  It's not too far from the city (45 minutes north of Denver) and about the same to the airport.  I understand that the population here is quite a bit more than it lets on, but I'm constantly skirting around it on SR-119 that I don't get to see too much.  I really like it here.  I like that the houses are not 20' apart.  I like open space, trees, and mountains.  It's definitely nice.

I have the opportunity to work with some pretty sharp developers here on a custom integration prototype.  Things are going really well.  In a matter of two days we've gotten a lot up and running.  It's going to be fun to demonstrate its functionality at the end of the week.
