Tomorrow is already Christmas eve and this year is quickly coming to a close. This year sure went by very fast...

Last week I attended the Search Engine Strategies conference in Chicago. The conference was very well attended (over 4,000 people is what I heard) and there were many interesting sessions on search engine spam and shopping search engines. SES is a great conference for someone who is interested in learning about search engine industry and business. The web site for SES is www.searchenginestrategies.com.

I will be flying down to LA tomorrow with my wife Sunny and son David (19 months old) to spend Christmas with our family. Our parents are especially excited to see David since they just can't seem to have enough of him. We are planning to visit Ronald Reagan library in Simi Valley and go to Legoland near San Diego since David loves playing with Legos. I will be back in the office on January 3rd, 2005. Next year is already gearing up to be a busy year with launch of Become at www.become.com.

Wish you all a merry Christmas and great new year in 2005!
