I’m getting on a plane in a few hours that’s going to take me from Washington DC to Los Angeles, and then just a couple hours after landing, another one from LAX to Brisbane in Australia. Thanks to the timezones crossed, plus the international date line, I leave LAX late …
Today started with a bang — or maybe it didn’t. I don’t know, because for the first time in something like two years I managed to oversleep, missing my alarm clock by over an hour. That meant rushing around like crazy to get Ian up — actually Eleya did this, …
After a very late night return from picking everyone up at Richmond and a hotel dropoff, I returned home (Ian Weller in tow) and crashed. Five hours later it was time to hit the bricks! My dog and I woke Ian, who, in the fine tradition of high schoolers everywhere, …
Update on the bus to FUDCon Toronto 2009: The vendor we’re working with just purchased a coach for their fleet (only 200K miles, which in the travel industry is practically new) which is expected to arrive in their shop for inspection next week. The bus is a 36-seater, and includes …

This blog post will skip the descriptive narrative, and behave in a little more cut and dried fashion. It’s late and I am out of steam after a tremendous day here at UTOSC 2009. Up early this morning, got breakfast, caught a ride with Doran “fozzmoo” Barton, and then managed …
Today I drove up to Washington after lunch to catch a plane to Utah for UTOSC 2009. The drive was pretty uneventful, and only about a quarter mile of stopped traffic near the Prince William Parkway and then a brief pause north of Woodbridge — it was practically paradise as …
