I ran across this article talking about the technical setup of Lingr (basically provides chat rooms in the browser). The interesting thing about Lingr is it uses a technology that keeps a connection open from the browser to the server. With this connection open, the server can push content to the browser without requiring a browser refresh or a "polling" of the server. This lead to comments about whether servers could handle that many open connections.

Here are some random beach shots from Ocean Isle Beach, NC. I thought I would give Picasa Web by Google a try. Make sure you give their Slideshow a try.

Tonight was the Kenny Chesney concert in Raleigh and it was a good one. He puts on such a good show. This past month has probably been one of the busiest months in my professional career and personal life. With all that I had going on it was interesting some of the thoughts that popped into my head during the concert. During There Goes my Life, it brought back all kinds of memories and it made me really grateful for everything we have and all the opportunities I have been given. Back Where I Come From was another one that hit me in a very cool way. It is amazing how music can touch you in so many ways and for me, most were in a good way.
Kenny was awesome!

I learned tonight that if all of the stars that make up the Milky Way were a grain of salt, it would be enough to fill up an Olympic size swimming pool.
