    Hey Dan,

    Great website! Where is the link/website showcasing all of your sweet sweet pens?

    Click on Pens, up at the top. I unfortunately lost all my pictures when I transferred websites. I am working on getting them back. I will have a couple more up tonight.

    Just listened to the podcast you and your wife did for @Context – it was awesome. I am a woodworker also, and have scanned my 21 years of wood magazine keeper articles. Working on the remainder of the archive. Looking at the Scansnap – yours still working well?

    I have a number of pen kits ready to turn – 19 month old girl running around so they may need to wait until I retire in 20 years!

    Just purchased an Ipod Touch and also love the apps – I use a Blackberry Storm at the office. Ok, but as you stated – Apple got it right.

    Are you syncing with outlook, or is that on a separate system for your office phone?

    Thank you, Gary.
    That was a fun interview. I learned things about my wife I hadn’t learned in 20 years of marriage. I still use my Scansnap weekly and it is still working great. My daughter claims I have a not-so-secret love affair going with it. :-)

    I hear you on the lack of time for shop fun. I have been working on some pens and a couple dressers for several months now with no end in sight. The time will come. Keep plugging away. In the end, though, how we spend our time is our choice. I find it more rewarding than TV. The hardest part is actually moving the feet to the shop.

    My work appointments are separate at this point and kept on my work cell phone. All the family appointments are consolidated in Google calendars. I have considered syncing the work calendar to Google as well, but have some resistance to that because it is work and I like to keep work and home as far apart as possible.
    Thanks for reading and listening.
    Cheers!
