I took Chris with me to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=3340942167\" title=\"OpenSocial Developer Garage Link\" target=\"_blank\">OpenSocial Hackathon<\/a> last night sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/bungeelabs.com\/\" title=\"Bungee Labs\" target=\"_blank\">Bungee Labs<\/a> with great participation by Google. We enjoyed learning a bit more about the process for developing applications using <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.google.com\/a\/opensocial.org\/opensocial\/Home\" title=\"OpenSocial Link\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s OpenSocial<\/a> specification. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orkut.com\" title=\"Orkut Link\" target=\"_blank\">Orkut<\/a> wasn&#8217;t working and my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/\" title=\"MySpace Link\" target=\"_blank\">MySpace <\/a>developer account hadn&#8217;t been approved yet (the approval came in today), so we did a lot of watching and not much hacking. The food was good, the event was fun, and we got back home about 11:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I was planning to be in Provo for the monthly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windley.com\/cto_forum\" title=\"Phil Windley\" target=\"_blank\">CTO Breakfast<\/a>. But, my alarm clock didn&#8217;t work correctly (possible operator malfunction, though) and I woke up a half-hour later than I had planned. I hustled through the shower, dressed, and went outside to find that there was a couple of inches of snow on the ground and the snow was coming down rather furiously. In spite of that, I arrived only a half-hour late for the gathering in Provo. That was another very interesting and invigorating meeting with some really fun folks. Tonight I&#8217;m taking Chris with me to the monthly Geek \/ Blogger dinner at the Taj restaurant in Salt Lake City. After that fun event, I&#8217;ll drop him off back at home and then drive north to Pocatello. I&#8217;ll actually sleep in my own bed tonight. That should be a fun experience! (Isn&#8217;t there a Beach Boys song about &#8216;Fun, Fun, Fun&#8217;?) The visit here in Utah has been a lot of fun. Heather has really gone out of her way to make things comfortable, including a generous dish of Easter Chocolate in the bedroom, all of which will be gone by the time I leave tonight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granddaughter Danielle sings in the International Children&#8217;s Choir and had a concert tonight.
