A few weeks back I blogged on the idea of our company going to a four day work week.  After some discussions and deliberations we have decided to make the move.

Starting August 1st we will be focused on a Monday - Thursday schedule with someone monitoring the support email on Fridays.

This is a quick reminder/FYI for you Flex folks.  Nick Kwiatkowski is putting on a great Flex Camp in Michigan next week.  The price can't be beat ($40 for 2 days).  If you are anywhere in the area you should make it your goal to attend.  If your not in the area you should try to get a cheap flight since the conference is so inexpensive.

The conference is limited to only 150 people so be sure to get a ticket ASAP before they sell out.

I made some badges for people to put on their site for the upcoming RIAdventure cruise.

I used a service called Sprout Builder, which is a flex based app that lets us easily build widgets.  I have to say it was DARN easy to make these.  I had them done in minutes, which may show, but hey it works right? :-)  I could make them multiple views, embed video and audio, slideshows, etc.  Pretty darn slick.

Time flies when your having fun.  Stop by our UG meeting tonight where we distribute some Adobe shwag (thanks Adobe!) and discuss all the latest announcements / ideas from the past two months of conferences.

Meeting at The Press Room, 6pm tonight.

The 4 day work week seems to be gaining popularity.  We have discussed it in the office, though nothing definitive as of yet. 

The idea we are mulling is that everyone works 10 HR days for 4 days.  Monday - Thursday.

Yup, you read correctly.  Its a cruise.  A real one!  I am officially jumping into the RIA event ring.  If your down with CF, Flex, Air and other web related goodness  AND your down for having a nice vacation with family and friends then this is the trip for you.

This will be quite different though.  No sessions, no fees.  Just a bunch of us getting together to network, be social and have fun.

Nicknames.  Every where I turn there is someone named trnky2fun or something like that.  Every social site I belong to I get invited to be a friend by someone with NO profile, or with a description of 'what do you want to know'.    Their name?  Nothing descriptive. How can I say yes to that?

I have 2 people in my gmail talk alone who I have NO idea who they actually are.  I am sure I may have known when I approved 7 months ago, but no memory of it now.
