Post ShmooCon & Computer Book Raid
Whiew! I flew back in from my ShmooCon (DC) trip laaaaate last night. Seemed that there was a problem with the little crop-duster I flew in on from Memphis to Pensacola… The main hatch wouldn’t seal. So there was a very long lay-over in Memphis as we waited for the initial mechanic and then a specialist to work on the problem. Been catching up on sleep lost all weekend today (yawn).
What a blast! ShmooCon was a little bigger this year from the last, but it had the same great speakers, organizers and attendee. Incriminating photos of my drunken state may be found on Flickr accounts of some friends (SullyJMan, Ethan, and the general ShmooCon 2008 stream) - I know I was not the only toastie that night ;P. Thanks to everyone who made ShmooCon4 a joy to attend!
While there, I was tempted to purchase three books (saving up cash):
