Back in the Saddle...

Ahhhhh, RecruiterGuy here and it's good to be back - sort of.

After a terrific week in Southern California I'm headed back to the office today. With batteries completely recharged I'm reminded why vacation time is so important. As addicted to online communities, email, my blackberry, etc. as I am I'm still a hard-core believer that you must completely unplug while on vacation in order to truly recharge.

Having not read a single email or dialed in even once to check voicemail I suspect that the company went on without me. And while I've no doubt that I'll be swimming in work this week - nothing will take away from how refreshed my point of view and approach to the job will be.

The recipe for this summer's vacation:
2 days with the kids at Disneyland + dropping the kids at camp + just wife and close friends for a week in Southern Cal. Oh yes... the batteries are recharged.

With just a few more videos to update and upload to the site - here are three that I finished. I'm almost getting "good" with this Flip Ultra, I think. (for the YouTube page and full sized (high quality) vids, just click the link under each.)

Coronado Golf

Wilson Creek Winery

Comment by RecruiterGuy on July 1, 2008 at 12:00pm: Just used HTML to create a table with three columns - popped each vid in a cell with a break for the link under each to the actual YouTube post. Just made sure to change the YouTube vid dimensions to approx 45% so that I could fit 3 in the estimated 600 px space provided for message body.

There is probably a cleaner way to do it, but HTML was quick for me.
