We took a bunch of days off for a family vacation. We went down to the Turks & Caicos and had a fantastic time with a great mix between just hanging out / reading and sports / adventure activities. For the first time on a vacation I actually missed blogging, which I guess is a testament to the power of habits.

Still as I was trying to minimize my time on a computer and had to do a bit of email it was blogging that took the hit (except for [announcing](http://www.usv.com/2013/06/firebase.php) our investment in [Firebase](http://firebase.com) yesterday). Books read on this vacation included: [The Human Division](http://www.amazon.com/The-Human-Division-John-Scalzi/dp/0765333511) by [John Scalzi](http://www.scalzi.com/) and [Drive](http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Surprising-Truth-About-Motivates/dp/1594484805) by [Daniel Pink](http://www.danpink.com/) (also recently finished: [Talent is Overrated](http://www.amazon.com/Talent-Overrated-World-Class-Performers-EverybodyElse/dp/1591842948) by [Geoff Colvin](http://www.geoffcolvin.com/) which had been recommended to me by [Rohan Rajiv](http://www.rohanrajiv.com) – thanks!).
