and it only gets better from there!
(sarcasm intended)
my flight to St Louis is 2 hours late, so they moved me to a flight leaving an hour later than the one I was scheduled for, which gets me into SeaTac about a half-hour later than I was supposed to be arriving.
which I guess isn’t too bad, all things considered.? the people [...]
hi, I’m a dumbass
I left my lovely rosemary plant somewhere between the airport bus and where I’m sitting right now.? damn.
it’s just over an hour until my flight, so I might see if I can do a lost/found call….
not quite over
I’m hanging out in the airport, and I’ve already seen Zeldman+Carrie, Jeremy Keith, and (I think) Ev.? I’m catching up on my feeds while I wait for my flight….
Had a quick bite to eat, chatted a little with some sxsw folks behind me — they were talking about flickr tags, which reminded me that [...]
fortune cookie fortune
from yesterday’s lunch at the Mongolian Grill….
Next full moon brings an enchanting evening.
hm.? is that the full moon now, or in April?
packing
I have way too much cr@p coming home than I did going out.? I think I understand why the post office has a booth at SXSW.? Unless I can be clever, then I may be visiting it myself.

for now I’m back [...]

bruce sterling talk
still processing the experience of the last panel. this is in the same room as next-gen web apps, now I owe George Kelly a beer for his forethought in bringing a powerstrip.
the party doesn’t scale. ? no, you are too big, too professional.
he’s in a dark, introspective, literary mood this year.? [...]

open source management
was originally going to be called “vulnerability” — but trying to ease people/corps into honest.
charlise theron is in the building?!
want to run it like a talk show. heather gold as host. big frustration: trying to be herself or not being herself at work. not go into “drag” at 9am. (indeed!)
david callisch, [...]

next-gen web apps
a little drowsy, a little chilly. Bruce Sterling is a few chairs down from me, but I’m about used up of my store of fangirl moxie, so I just took his picture from a distance.
I’m mostly in this session to hear from the ginormous Veen about the uncannily addictive Measure Map.
Ev, Mena, Veen, eric [...]
