The family attended the Wharton UI Conference this year--Amy as an attendee, Cole and I worked it. Here are three pics taken by Scott Spitzer. Cole has had some interest in HTML5, so he wound up sitting in on that session. Overall, the conference was wonderful. I learned a lot and especially enjoyed the keynotes by Cory Ondrejka and Don Norman.

This is my desk; the place where all of the magic happens. :-) I moved my desk closer to the window for better light and got rid of anything that was a distraction. The shadow box, with all of the Marine stuff, was made by my buddy Edwin. It takes me back to the six years I spent wearing camouflage.

Here is a picture of all of us, in our living room, on the last night of their visit.

Fat Bastard wine. Yup, that's what I'm drinking right now. :-)

Amanda interviewing Steve for the upcoming Wharton UI conference.

This is a pic of a very exhausted dog. Amy and I took her to the park to wear her out. She is constantly wanting to play. It is a rare moment when she doesn't want to annoy the crap out of us wanting to play. The heat, combined with a morning run and throwing the ball around in the park, made her one tired puppy. Hah!

My co-worker, Amanda, told me about this store. It is awesome. They have the best junk ever! I even found a screen protector and case for my iPad. Only $5 each. (Yes, I shaved off all of my hair. Hair is over-rated.)

Notice anything peculiar about the photo? ;-)

Alethea (my boss), Amanda (co-worker), and I went to Bobby's Burger Palace in West Philly for lunch. It was only their second day at this location, their first restaurant in Pennsylvania. Being a very new restaurant, I'll cut them some slack about the long line and the wait. The food was very good and their sauces were great. I had a "classic" burger, sweet potato fries, and a Coke Zero. Is it better than Five Guys? No, about equal in my estimate. Where they kill their competitors is in the ambiance of their dining area. It was a very nice experience, though a bit pricey at $12.

This project has finally moved from a Photoshop document to XHTML/CSS. Using a bit of CSS3 and Webkit markup.
