Sorry for the very old musical reference; I couldn't resist ;-)

I am in St. Louis, MO today for client meetings. Fortunately for me, a minimal amount of grief with the travel. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for all as I met a number of people trying to make it to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC yesterday with far less success. As someone who has (knocking on wood) been fairly fortunate the last few years with travel, my heart always goes out to those just trying to get home to be with their families.

I did see (but could not grab a photo of) the new HTC America commercial. It was running during TNT coverage of the Boston/Cleveland NBA playoff game which happened to be on the TVs in Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. Nice ad placement, HTC!

I'll be heading back home tomorrow afternoon (weather permitting). Glad I am not traveling today. As we speak, CNN is reporting that the Severe Weather Prediction Center is giving our area a "moderate risk" rating for tornado activity. Just what this area does not need...

The next couple of weeks are very exciting and very busy. Among the items on the agenda -

• The 31 Days of the Dragon contest over at BostonPocketPC continues to move right along. The first phase of the contests ends tomorow (May 10th, 2008) at 11:59 PM EDT, so if you haven't entered yet, you should! We've received a tremendous amount of interest and entries thus far, and I am looking forward to announcing the finalists this coming Sunday and the Grand Prize Winner next week.
• I will be traveling to Saint Louis, MO early next week for a couple of days of client meetings. I look forward to visiting Saint Louis (even if only for business), as this city has previously only been a "plane change" stopover in my travels.
• The following week leads to the next Windows Mobile User and Developer Group meeting on May 21st. I will be doing two presentations / demonstrations. One is on Windows Mobile 6.1, and the other is an introduction to System Center Mobile Device Manager. If you are in the area and interested, be sure to visit BostonPocketPC.com for all of the details.
