I’m building a site for a woman who’s just finished publishing her first book. Since it’s just published, she’s light on testimonials…and given that I was in need of something to fill a module on the left side of a page, I created one for her.

She asked where I got the quote:

Just curious–where did you get the quote from Winston in Long Beach, CA?

So I answered honestly:

Winston is a guy who lives in apartment 2C, in that complex about two nanoblocks west of my cerebral cortex. He really wants to participate in your site, but if you don’t like his quote, he can leave.

Let’s see if he’s still around tomorrow.

Tonight, the fourth T-AKE (Lewis and Clark Class) ship - the USNS Richard E. Byrd - was launched at GD-NASSCO.

Here’s a quick clip from the stage:

The dolphins joined us for a good portion of sea trials last week…

The following is a list of things that have been absorbing my time and interest, and having an uncharacteristically large impact on my Turnipvillin’:

• Work
• Site Design
• Site Maintenance
• Relatives
• Mountain Biking
• Mountain Bike Videos
• Tennis
• Golf
• Yard Work

I’m pleased to announce a few new things, in conjunction with my return to Turnipville.

1. The official roll out of Turnip Network - an association of my blogs, media and web affiliations.
2. The launch of Management Lounge - a collaborative site for managers and professionals of all industries.
3. Introduction of Martini Geek - a tech site geared toward the geek hobbyist, and those who love tech….but can’t do it full time.

As always, the downside of new development is that it takes time from maintenance. The development should be at a plateau, and we can get back to content generation. So thank you for your patience, and your e-mails.

Let’s look to the future, which includes much more blogging, much new material, and even some podcasts…
