There's always a moment when you realize this is it, spring is here; and this year, that moment came this week. It's warm, you don't need to bundle up when you go out.
The air smells like perfume, every time you turn a corner, there's a new version of heaven for your nose; and visually, it's pretty stunning too -- the colors! Oh man.
The weather in California is pretty amazing, and every year it peaks, right around now, and there probably isn't a more lovely place on the planet.
Another sign it's spring: you can sleep with the windows open.
And, as "Solo" reminds, you can sleep with the windows open in NY too, but you'll freeze your ass. ";->"

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
