“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.”
This will be my last blog post of 2007. Tomorrow morning Ciara and I are heading off to Costa Rica for some rest, relaxation, and recharging. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has commented, emailed, and gotten excited about rich Internet applications with me. You guys create such inspirational things and have such insightful thoughts that it makes writing and talking with you a pleasure. Without you I never would have had the enthusiasm to keep up the blog and make it such an important part of what I do.
It’s been a great personal year for me and I owe the bulk of it to all of you for the support and constant interaction. I hope I’ve at least provided you some good information and things to think about this year and I hope we’ll get to do it all over again next year.
Best wishes to all of your families, happy holidays and have a great new year. I’ll have my phone down in Costa Rica so I’ll hopefully be Twittering and keeping tabs a bit. But for the first time in a VERY long time I’m not bringing my laptop, so wish me luck 
(Thanks to William Shakespeare for the quote)

Thank you, Ryan, for your leadership and enthusiasm. Have a safe trip, and part of me wishes you actually do lose your phone this time… for it’s time to relax and disconnect! 2008 will be even more exciting.

You’re not taking your laptop? Hang on, are you sure you are making the right decision here?
Haha just kidding.

Ryan…have a great vacation. 2007 was great and I’m glad we got a few chances to hang out and grab brews during the year. I consider you a good friend and in 2008 I’m sure we’ll have plenty of chances to talk Silverlight/WPF and all things RIA.
Merry Christmas and I happy New Year!

Admittedly this post did make me laugh, some of the comments were rather richly comical too. What happened with those sloths, then?

I think this is the right place to thank you for your great blog. I was on a holiday trip, too, so I wasnt really able to thank you for your wishes. Did you like Costa Rica? I was in Poland and it is really great there in the mountains in the winter. I just can tell you, to do this, too. So, my best wishes to you from Germany. Go on!
