Nights Filled with Longer Hours

May 7, 2009

I am in Boston this week visit fellow Azure Dynamics co-workers as well as doing some photoshoot for the New England Aquarium.

If the animation is slow please let it load for a minute. If you do not see the animation please click HERE.

With help from Mike Purvis, new addition of the category section should further enhance your browsing experience.
