Finally. Easter is nearly here. Boy do I need Easter. Every year I wait for Easter like 10-year-olds wait for Christmas. Easter is my reminder, my marker.

I hopped the ferry last night and attended the Seattle Twestival! The event was at the Spirtfire Grill in the Belltown neighborhood. The organizers were estimating that there were about 150 there. It was a young crowd and wired crowd. Nearly everyone had their device of choice in hand—my very rough estimate was that iPhones
