- Dolphins Blowing and Playing with Air Hoops
-
What is amazing about this video, besides the fact that it is dolphins blowing rings of air and playing with them, is that they seem to learn it from each other! Maybe Douglas Adams was right about dolphins!

- cf.Objective() 2013 Day 0 & 1
-
So this year cf.Objective() is pretty special to me. My first ever ColdFusion conference was the final cfUnited in 2010. I had been a community "lurker" for about 10 years prior to that.
