]]> New York CabI just returned from a week in New York, besides being blessed with nice weather it was great to reconnect with a number of old friends and also the opportunity to make some new ones.

I had forgotten how nice sitting in the Bryant Park Cafe on a sunny afternoon with a glass of wine was, and besides the rather dodgy hotel arrangements I was able to get over to FAO Schwartz for some birthday present shopping.

All I need now is iPhone 2.0 – and counting down to that too…
