Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating today. It's been a great week at the Raible Household. I've managed to squeeze in a few hours for AppFuse/Tapestry/JSF, but mostly I've been building a garage workbench with my Dad. We also setup a "beer fridge" so the garage is now a nice place to hang out. Should be even better when I start disassembling the bus.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year - the new bus, new baby, new house and new book. Abbie is a ton of fun these days, so I owe her a big thanks for all the smiles and laughs. I owe Julie a huge thanks for being so supportive of my "burning the midnight oil" and allowing me to write another book. To my Mom, Dad, and Kalin - you guys rock for always reminding me who I am and where I came from.

I owe my readers a note of thanks for visiting this site and listening to me ramble on about Java and the kick-ass open source tools that make our lives easier. You guys are responsible for the popularity of this site. Finally, I thank Dave Johnson for Roller (which started this site) - which lead to meeting Lance, which led to my first authoring opportunity. A lot of good fortune these days come from this site - I'm still astounded that a simple blog can open so many doors.

Happy Thankgiving!

Well Matt, we thank you for being such a prolific java blogger and contributing tirelessly to open source and the advancement of internet software development. Thanks to you, every day (or so) that goes by, some new technology is brought to the forefront, analyzed and integrated into our daily development. You have ignited the passion of many a developer. You rock!
