It took my parents several hours to write, format, and distribute our Christmas letter this year. After getting into a long discussion with them about more efficient ways to distribute our Christmas letter, I introduced them to box.net, one of many free cloud computing applications available on the web. I uploaded our Christmas letter into the cloud and shared the cloud location using my social media channels so that all of my friends and family could immediately have access to our Christmas letter without having to store the huge file in their inbox, getting bounce backs from outdated email addresses, and running into formatting issues.
Wishing all of your friends and family a Merry Christmas is as easy as clicking the link that I've provided below:

Embrace the power of the cloud and have more time to spend with your family this Holiday season.
Merry X-Mas and Happy Holidays,
Karl Laughton

Tomorrow's Thought Leaders - Push the Envelope
I've been brought on as an associate board member to the Santa Clara Valley Science and Engineering Fair. It’s something I’ll be doing outside of work, but wanted to bring to your attention.
SCVSEF is a non-profit organization that’s an innovation distribution channel for the thought leaders of tomorrow and a feeder program to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

I think that this will be a great learning opportunity for me as well as a good way to get involved with the community.
Non-profit organizations such as SCVSEF are the hubs that push the envelope in science and engineering to the next generation. They ultimately breed the next round of VC funding, create jobs, and will develop the technology that changes our everyday lives.
I'd encourage all of you to get involved in your communities and do the same, help change the world.
You can do more than you think:
"Attitude should not be determined by circumstances"
