Future and Past

Future: I got back late last night from php|tek 09. It was a good time overall, and I am glad I was able to attend. PHP is the future of the Web for the near time. I also managed to pick up a cute elePHPant mascot too.Ridgeley Sandstone Brachiopods

Past: We decided to get out and do something as a family now that I have returned. Once we had the momentum, and the plan, we drove out to Hancock, MD and went fossil hunting. There is an exposed outcrop of Ridgeley Sandstone from the Devonian era there. All we found were brachiopods, but it was fun none-the-less. After hunting for a bit, went to check out the Sideling Hill Exhibit Center.

Afterward, a dip in the pool was very refreshing. Hooray for a long weekend!
