Pre blogging

Wednesday,  12/16/09  08:39 PM

This is coming to you live from the Charthouse in Dana Point, post Kessel Run, as I attempt to use my Palm Pre to blog (!).  I am dragging, had a *long* day yesterday; up early, busy day of meetings, long and exhausting, ending with a good ride and a fantastic dinner.  Yeah, I might have had some Pinot, too.  It left me tired but smiling :)

It looks like healthcare reform might die completely.  Wow, could that really be true?  It seemed too much to hope for, and yet each attempt to craft a bill is worse than the previous, crufted with pork and graft, and the American public is getting progressively less excited.  What a failure.  We need reform, but all these attempts are doomed by too much government involvement.

Google wants you to give Chrome for Christmas.  Price $0, and they'll do the [virtual] gift-wrapping for you.  What a cute idea.  Have you been good this year? 

Hey, I think my Pre blogging worked!  Next up, pictures; yeah I know, you miss them.  Stay tuned!
