It’s hard to believe that a year has already flown by since I was last wishing our WonderDawg a Happy Birthday, but it has! During that time Kerry Woo has not only become an invaluable and irreplaceable member of our team, he has also become a dear friend to many of us – particularly me.

Kerry is the type of guy who is always quick with a cheerful text or email; he has a cracked sense of humor and he can make even the most mundane reviews seem fun and interesting.

He has a deep affinity for all things LEGO, as witnessed by the following posts:

The Stereo Mini Portable Sound Box from USB Fever REVIEW

Make some music: The Fingertip Mini Cube Speaker REVIEW

The Best Lil’ Lego Band from Nashville rocks on

I suspect that the size of his LEGO collection would make many of us green with envy.

But it’s not just about the LEGO! Be sure to look at ALL of Kerry’s posts; the man is definitely a font of diverse interests! Kerry also loves “stuff”; he obviously does not know the meaning of traveling light. Behold…

Kerry recently started a new job which has had him traveling all over the South. Some of his posts covering the things he has seen, especially in New Orleans, are best seen on his personal blog, or through pictures on his Flickr. It only takes a moment or two of reading his “brain nuggets” to realize that Kerry is the kind of guy that we all want to know – a caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and genuinely good man. He was the inspiration behind many of us taking up the Gear Diary 366 for 2008 photo challenge, which even though I have skipped some days on, I am still doggedly pursuing. I am lucky to call Kerry a friend, and Gear Diary is a better place for his presence.

Please take a moment to join me in wishing Kerry a Happy Birthday, and a wonderful upcoming year!
