Late Holiday Picture

I enjoy submitting pictures of Duke for the yearly java.net "Holiday Pictures" article. But this year, I missed the deadline, and when I noticed, the article was already up. Oh well, maybe next year...

But then, I received a gorgeous onyx Penguin as a Christmas gift from my cousin and godchild, Clara.

Even late, I just had to post this nice family shot that Duke, Juggy and Tux made me take in front of the Christmas tree. They look great together, and with the full OpenJDK due in just a few months, I think 2007 will be the year those guys become inseparable friends.

That 2007 be a year that we can work together, bringing a better world to all. And if what we do don't look like much, that at least we have fun doing our best, and that we can open the way so others can follow and build on what we did.

My best wishes to you and your family.
