After a hectic week and a four day visit to Seattle, I'm finally back.

Noteworties from the trip to the Emerald City were:

My friend Chris, playing at the EMP Liquid Lounge on Friday night with his band The Jet City Angels, successfully asked his girlfriend to marry him by dropping down on one knee and presenting her with his grandmother's diamond ring - in front of the entire audience. She said "YES"....

At the Lounge, I also managed to meet up with Robert Scoble, Microsoft's Longhorn Evangelist and quite possibly the world's most prolific blogger (if you don't believe me, go over and check out the blog for yourself...). And although yelling into eachother's ear over the severe blasting of rockabilly music from loudspeakers only 15 feet away isn't exactly my idea of an inspiring conversation, a good time was had by everybody nonetheless - or at least so I think.

(Note to Robert: Hey, if you read this - nice work on the video, btw. I saw the results, and they were excellent. Very VH1 ...;-)

In search of the Fremont Market the next day, I happened by a one-day outdoor sale of a glass factory. They had the most incredible globes and eggs and ornaments - and because the check-out line was around the block, I took pictures instead. Here's one of a cool globe, with the reflection of its potential buyer.
