Happy Monday, friends! I'm back in Baltimore after a two-week vacation that took me and my family to the land of goat milk and honey: Greece. (Left, that's me in a national park in southern Greece).

For the most part, I managed to unplug, but not fully. I still got some use from my iPhone, which helped me find a car to rent and a hotel room to secure in Athens while we were on the go.

The mobile Internet is an amazing thing!

Here at BaltTech, life went on.

Looking back on the guest posts, I can see you were all in the good hands of Dave Troy and Mike Subelsky -- two bright, well-connected fellows with a passion for Baltimore tech. The content they put together for BaltTech was stellar. Take a glance at it if you have the time.

We learned about Beehive Baltimore, the Ignite events, the needs of our local tech culture, RailsConf, Innovate Baltimore, TedxMid-Atlantic, Maryland's open source heroes, how to raise money as a startup, and the viewpoints of threetechnologists. Great stuff.

A public thank you to Dave and Mike for keeping BaltTech online while I was offline. :-)

In fact, I liked the "Five Questions With ... " featurette so much that I'd like to continue it. If you know of a local technologist you'd like to see interrogated and highlighted, just let me know at gus.sentementes@baltsun.com.
