Spanky's Place

It is a beautiful morning. We're cruising down the interstate, the sun is shining on the sycamore trees in the distance. I'm currently sprawled out on the very back leather sofa-bench thing, while The Truman Show plays quietly on the 42" flat panel to my left.

The normal folks (Jimmy, Jen, Sheri and Mike) are up front, actually having a real live, face-to-face conversation with one another. The rest of us are in the back, clicking away at our laptops, putting the final touches on our presentations and projects as we journey towards Orlando.

We are too enthralled in our work to take notice of the beauty of the road. It's kind of sad in a way; but we are, at our cores, true geeks. The romanticist in me wants to believe that we are like normal folk. The realist in me is all too aware that God made us this way for a reason. We build stuff. We are wizards of bits and bytes, masterfully weaving together the fabric that binds the modern world together. This is what we do, and we are very, very good at it. And to be completely honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. Again, that's just how we are built.

The stuff we are bringing to Lotusphere will absolutely blow your minds. Come on by booth #s 424 - 427 and check it out.

Oh yes, it is going to be a very good year.
