Ah. Just got back from China. I spent last week visiting the Microsoft office in Beijing. The Avalon team is partnering with a group in China to produce some of the control and features in Avalon. It was great to get to meet all the folks over there. So, over the past 3 weeks I've spent 1 in LA, 1 in Seattle, and 1 in Beijing. It's nice not to have anything on the radar.

except...

The deadline for the book is fast approaching. I have due dates every couple weeks for the rest of the year. I've decided to declare October to be "The Month of the Book". I'm planning on spending 5am-7am each day, 7pm-10pm three times a week, and Sundays on the book. Hopefully this will give me enough time to push through finishing up. The first chapter is due this week (which I've already written, just have to finalize it).
