Happy New Year, SSL Certificate, Wallpaper, Zendesk Buddha Machine, Tweet In Review

Happy Lunar New Year

It will be Lunar New Year, sometimes called Chinese New Year, on Wednesday this week. There were several celebrations in Seattle on Saturday. Here's a photo of the Chinese Dragons, although, I think these were more like Vietnamese Dragons. My future brother-in-law was coordinating this group as they made their way around "Little Saigon" in Seattle.



Here's one of my brother-in-law cleaning up after the fireworks went off in front mother-in-law's shop.



It was a fun time to be in Seattle, although it was really loud when the firecrackers were going off!

New SSL Certificate

We've switched providers for our SSL security certificate. We're now using Network Solutions for the service. We're very pleased with Network Solutions other services, such as e-mail and web site hosting. We now have one provider for e-mail, DNS hosting, and our SSL certificate. This makes things simpler, easier, and more affordable.
