Last week, in was in Tampa, hanging out with the girlfriend and getting a head start on summer activities:

…as well as an ability to get the job done any place, anytime. This was my view from a wifi-equipped stadium, where I took a call via Skype, took notes with Evernote and did some quick lookups and email with Safari:
