Yes, I am taking a vacation. For those that know me this is a very rare occurrence. The vacation that I am taking is RIAdventure! The only way I found that I could take a "Vacation", without going to a conference to present or attend, was to be able to (at least) talk shop with a bunch of like minded people (Difficult to find around here).

So to (re)use the words of the man himself (Joshua Cyr);

The idea is simple. Let's all get together in a relaxed atmosphere someplace warm and fun in February. A cruise! No sessions. No conference. Just a predetermined cruise date and destination to share with anyone and everyone interested. Invite friends and family. Network with others interested in ColdFusion, Flex, AIR and other web goodness.

I hope to see you there.

This is my obligatory "Hello World" post after a nice fresh installation of the latest version of BlogCFC. More posts to follow later...

Teratech and Adobe have worked together to create these these impressive posters for ColdFusion 8. User groups will be raffling off some of these shortly, but you can get your own by filling out a Teratech survey (U.S. only due to shipping costs). See the CFUNITED Blog for more details.
