Dave - these pictures are awesome...the color and clarity is phenomenal! You truly captured some amazing pictures, thanks for sharing them. I've yet to go to Europe for vacation (just to Cambridge for a quick 2 day whirlwind trip to interview some candidates). Hope you are doing well... Dan

Thanks so much Dan! Great to hear from you! Europe can be an amazing, life changing experience. It's one thing to see a painting in a book. It's quite another to be alone, in the Uffizi in Florence, Italy, standing 6 inches away from the genius of Michelangeo. I know it's a bit corny, but it was quite an emotional experience, and one of the reasons Michelangelo is in the header of my site. But there were lots of other amazing sites as well... the castles in Austria, the waterfalls of Switzerland, the rolling hills of Germany's Black Forest, the art and architecture of Paris, and the always AMAZING Venice. So, um... how's your Java coming along? ...with all that extra time you have on your hands? (You really have no idea how much I love .NET.) It was great to see you guys again at the Microsoft event. Hope you're doing well and keep in touch.
