15 degrees out there. I’m telling you, there’s a reason I’ve never wanted to move to Omaha.

Boarding soon for the first leg of the trip home. When I land, tillyjane is picking me up, along with jeffsoesbe. We’re going to swing by Nuevo Rancho Lake for a quick luggage swap, run a Sekrit Projekt errand, then hit Orycon by 2:30 or 3:00 (hopefully).

In other words, it will all be a blur. Expect continued light blogging, with intermittent wit and erudition.

At least it won’t be 15 degrees at Orycon.

A travel day about which the less said, the better. As jeffsoesbe commented, “You’re being struck by darts. Lots of little darts.” Let’s just say that the iPhone is really not my friend. (Who the hell builds a device with a soft reset switch and no hardware bypass? When the reset switch is hung, you’re screwed.)

I’m at Orycon, chilling in my room for a while before heading out into the great mass of Con. See some, all or none of you here.
