Vacation and travel is over and I’m happy to say things are moving again. I’m feeling refreshed and I have a lot to share with you in 2012; starting with the new book I’m writing for O’Reilly! Read on, MacDuff.

Blogging Year In Review
It would be an understatement to say that the last year has been busy. With having a baby, launching and then ‘unlaunching’ the HP TouchPad, lots of conferences, and pushing out several open source project releases it’s just been one heck of a crazy time.
