Wide Awake at 3 a.m.

Our precious Gracie is a 1-year-old today! She and her little sister, Shiloh, went to Sparky’s this morning to get prettied up for her little birthday celebration.

In 1997, IDOC (and several other localization companies) were acquired by Bowne and formed Bowne Global Solutions. But for 10+ years prior to that, we were a smaller, tightly-knit localization company based in Los Angeles with offices in Dublin and Rio de Janeiro. The other night, we had a memorable mini-reunion dinner. Although I keep in touch with many of my former colleagues (and friends), I hadn’t seen some of them since the mid 90s! I spent nearly 8 years with IDOC (and Bowne Global Solutions) — I left back in late 1999.

To help all of us keep in touch, I’ve created a private Yahoo! Group called IDOCers. We’ve posted pictures from the dinner, vintage IDOC photos, there’s an address book, message board, group e-mail, etc. So, if you’re a former IDOCer, let me know and come join the group! We’d love to hear from you!
