What I find I am missing the most are the conversations and meeting with far flung friends. I can't keep up on Twitter as the tweets fly by, but do the best I can. It is not the same as being there. For sessions though, it is a little easier. Each half day, I am going through the program and picking out sessions I might have liked to Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500577228334541271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10571116.post-57760837632150354492013-01-04T22:48:00.001-07:002013-01-04T22:56:19.935-07:0017 years is a long time!The white car on the left in the first image is the car I have been driving for the past 17 years.

Well, made it through the first work day of the new year, okay first half day. I spent the morning getting the deal for the new car finalized (more on that tomorrow).
It was nice to get back into the saddle slowly. On Wednesdays, I spend the afternoon with Crescent Elementary. I am helping the student council produce a weekly news broadcast. It is a lot of fun.

There I said it, I really hate resolutions, at least New Year's resolutions. That is probably because I have always sucked at them. I do however, believe in goals. It has been awhile since I have set some personal goals, but I am doing it this year. One of the problems I have with goals is that I haven't kept them in my face to remind myself.

(Originally posted on EdReach.us)
In the Apple world there have been and will be some fairly major announcements. Some like Mountain Lion were announced last week. Others like the iPad 3, will be forthcoming in the next few weeks or months. Some I am hoping for may not be coming at all. The next few months will tell.
So, what do we know?

One more really big thing!I offered my opinions on last week's Apple Education announcement on the Macreach podcast. Although I felt the things announced were okay, I saw a lot of holes that needed to be filled. The big thing that I missed was something that was not explicitly stated during the announcement. It was hinted at, but not a lot of detail was given.

On the plus side it is so good to get together with the team each week and to talk about what is going on. On the minus side, we are all so fried by Thursday that we don't have the energy that I would like to see us have at our meetings.

Friends,
I've never done anything like this, but would appreciate any help you can give in getting the word out. My cousin's son is missing from the Las Vegas area. The image gives his information.
Thank You,
