There hasn't been any earth shattering news lately, but here are a few updates. I found 
a book at Amazon that has the early sketches and story development for Lilo & Stitch. I'm not quite sure why I like Lilo and Stitch so much, but I'm having a great time being mildly obssessed about it. It isn't stopping me from being productive, anyway. I'm quite close to having a version of duck that offers database abstraction and the ability to embed the pages into our regular course pages. Once I get this transition made, I'm planning to set up resources for duck at Sourceforge. And I've been moderatly successful in my recent efforts to eat better and exercise more.
