In a cool move we agreed to give half of our prize money to Kiva. I tagged along with Adam and Bill into two investments (I’m the mysterious “Dundas, Ontario” silhouette).

4) I haven’t been in my car in 3 days (love this).

5) Chartreuse is blogging again. And I couldn’t be happier. He’s a rock star.

Thanks Fraser. The league was definitely a blast — I’m glad we did it for a good cause. Great to hear that things are going well at AdaptiveBlue. You’re not in Dundas anymore, Toto! :-)
