Free-Busy Data Share
Some of us love the ability in Outlook to schedule a meeting and invite others based on when they are free or busy. This happens automatically when your organization uses Exchange Server, but it would be also useful if we want to have a meeting during the work week.about semi formal or personal topics like OTCR or wedding DJing.
In Outlook, open your contact info for me. Most of my contact info is kept up-to-date for you if you use Plaxo, but please copy-paste the following line into the bottom of the “Details” tab, where it reads “Internet Free-Busy, Address:”

Now when you schedule meetings in your Outlook calendar, on the scheduling tab you will be able to see when I do not have previously scheduled meetings.
Want to set this up for yourself, or use a similar scheme for your entire company without buying Exchange Server?

Arizona & Utah - Car Camping Trip
For Rebecca's Spring Break 2006, we put 1750 miles on a Chevy HHR rental and toured the greatest parts of Arizona and Utah national parks, sans Grand Canyon (we're waiting until we can get a camping permit for the bottom during a good season). The pictures really speak for themselves - you have to check them out by clicking the links below. Furthering the budding photography hobby, I borrowed a coworker's Digital SLR, the Canon Digital Rebel XT 350D (really awesome). Stories too long to share here include going from desert climate to blizzard in 6 hours in the middle of the night, the love for the product called a JetBoil Stove, and getting pulled over by a scary-uneducated cop. Post production brought to you by Google's Picasa - gotta love it. I've been having fun learning new tricks lately. Enjoy.
Here's a preview (click any picture to go to the full gallery):
