Whirlwind wrap up
May 20 Thu (11 PM)
My flight reservations for the UCON trip has been confirmed. I’ll be in SF on Tuesday through Friday. This is really exciting. I’ll finally get to go to 1) a Macromedia conference (one of only 3 conferences I’d really like to go to) and 2) See Arron!
Arron and I went to high school together, one of my few, close, friends then. I’ve been kicking myself for losing contact with him over the past couple of years, but I got some contact information from a mutual friend. I got his e-mail address and now we’ll get the chance to hook up (hopefully on Thursday night).
I’m swamped at work. (Did I say that before?) Esco, Adidas, Gango, 4 seperate internal projects, plus a bunch of Perl tools and such to build. Outside of work, there’s a possible class to teach (for money!), if things go right.
Amy and I just finished watching game two of the Blazers/Jazz series. Wow, what a game. That’s twice this week that I’ve actually yelled out loud. (I’m reserved to the point where yelling out loud, unintentionally is extremely rare.) (The other time was at The Phantom Menace, the final saber fight scene.)
During the Blazer game there was a play by Jim Jackson, a really quick steal that was great. Brian Grant really held in there against Malone. Amy wasn’t impressed by the overall play, but I missed the first half and thought it was a great match.
Wednesday night was that ‘Summit’ of a bunch of creative/ad/design types at the Govenor Hotel. It left quite a bit to be desired, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to pull such a diverse group together.
I saw Geordie there, but he didn’t seem interested in talking. That’s too bad. It seems like I could have taken a step closer, made a bit more eye contact. But I guess it’s just not going to happen.
