Crap. Two weeks. Let's see.

OK, There was that business trip to North Carolina. Caught a red-eye, landed at 6:30am, left at 6pm. Day full of strategy sessions and architecture design. And the freaking guy who was supposed to fly in from Atlanta to meet me (it's the whole reason i went out there) didn't make it because his boss's personal pilot for his personal fucking jet was fogged in at Nashville.

Then after that I made my first trip to Las Vegas. Unfortunately it was during Comdex. I'll never make that mistake again. Vegas locals hate Comdexers, and it showed. Left up $70, mostly from the $1 craps table. It was a fun 3 days, need to go back.

Somewhere in there was a night with the Popcorn Anti-Theater Bus. Ended up hanging out with a reporter from the Chronicle the whole night since my "date" stood me up, it was fun although he only quoted the most banal things I said in the story. Some girl was hitting on me but I was in one of those too-drunk-to-concentrate modes (A.A.D.D.) so I didn't even get her name. She was all soft and fuzzy. Like a russian sugarmama.

Been working hard this week, preparing for a meeting in San Bruno Monday. Talking possible merger with another company; Last night I hacked out a WAP interface for our system to gee-whiz 'em.

Now it's time to head to the werepad, ciao now brown cow..
