My wife and I are from Oregon, and very proud of this fact. We have a theory that everything important, or of note can be traced back in some way to Oregon.
And so it is with a mix of happiness and sadness that I note that David Lett, pioneer of the Oregon Wine Industry, has passed.
David is notable for being the first to plant Pinot Noir grapes in the Willamette Valley, starting the Oregon wine-making business as we know it today.
He is also notable because he followed a dream. Thanks for including us in your dream, David!

It's very easy to get caught up in the so-called bad economic news at the macro level. I don't mean to make light of those in trouble, and I'd for-sure hate to be a car dealer right now, but really, did life completely stop because some banks messed up?
In times like these, it's good to poke your head up once in a while from your cubicle, office, coffee-shop and look around. See what's happening.
This is my gentle prod to your lilly-white behind that is seemingly glued to your chair: Software & Internet firms are still looking for developers.
Really.
Life has not stopped - go out there and live it!
