Blogante Headlines for Thursday – October 11th, 2007

Nothing like diving into code to make me drool and make my eyeballs cross. Last night, the chef and tv host Ingrid Hoffman sent me a nice complimentary e-mail.

What’s next?Oh and I am less than 50 away from having 2000 people subscribed to this newsletter – Gracias, Tomás
