DIGG IT! I have been offline for the past 10 days and my blog has been a bit too quiet. I missed the Flash Player 10 Beta, a ton of MAX meetings, and probably something urgent in the office but sometimes you just need to take a break. On this trip I really unplugged and did some amazing things:
1. I got engaged to Linda while here in Hawaii! I surprised her on the beach on May 10 after watching the sunset. She has really changed my life and she is easily the best thing to happen to me in a long long time.
2. I completed 20 Sudoku puzzles correctly averaging about 2 per day. I am an addict thanks to Keith Peters!
3. I finished a great book The Milkshake Moment.
4. 3 dives, 5 eels, 5 turtles, 3 sharks, fish, coral, the works. w00t, go diving!
5. Mama's Fish House - If you are ever in Maui, you must must must eat here.

The week has been really great and allowed me time to reflect on my work and life. It is really great to work for a company that encourages taking time off and recharging the batteries. May 1 was my 2 year anniversary at Adobe and time has literally flown by. Looking back on the past 2 years is really amazing, from the launch of Flex 2.0, 2.01, and Flex 3 I have been very focused on technical evangelism. As I return to San Francisco I will begin a new role at Adobe and honestly I am really excited to get started. I will keep you in the loop on the change, it is a good thing.
Cheers,
Ted :)
Congrats on the engagement! My wife and I went on our honeymoon in Maui last year in Lahaina. We didn't make it to Mama's though. Did you catch any good places on the western shore?
CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow! That's incredible!
You finished a book?!?
Oh. Congrats on the Linda thing too. ;-)
Hey, Congratulations on the Engagement.

Congrats to you and your new fiancee Ted!
Congrats!!! Yes, Mama's is the best. Tell me you tried the little steak appetizer in the cooked melon?
Did you do the cave dive with the skeleton?
Congrats Ted!
Wow!
Congratulations Ted!
I can now pronounce you and Linda as
Mr and Ms Flex!
But reading the last paragraph makes me say "Oh nooo"..
A new role? You are our official Mr Flex!
At least I hope it's somehow related to Flex..
Anyway congrats again!
Congrats on ur engagement Ted!
congrats Ted, all the best with the new job at Adobe -- we missed you at the summit! ;)
You'll still be working as an evangelist for MAX 2008 right?
Ted, Congrats! Sounds like we are on the same page! I got engaged while I was out in California for Community Summit! Actually at Cakebread Cellars in Napa Valley, but close enough! We were alone, by a small pond, under a shady tree, with a bottle of wine. She never expected it!
Also, I love Mama's Fish House! I recommend it as well to anyone heading to Maui!
Cograts Ted! Great news. Looking forward to your updates.
Congratulations!!! That's wonderful news!
I will be working on Adobe MAX 2008 all 3 of them, Adobe Engage 2009, and some other important things...
More to come!
Ted :)
