state of the flooz
Landed. Ottawa - Madison, WI - Chicago, IL > home. The last two weeks have been a wee bit crazy but good times. Madison was greeen... Ottawa was, well that's canada ya know.. i dunno I didn't see much of it. It was green though. Chicago was a weee bit too crowded for my taste. My brother moved into his new home and the family is well. Luckily he's in Naperville which is pretty much like average day columbus ohio aside from a few episodes of intense traffic.
Not much to blog about. Travelling sucks really, least for 6'5 folks like me. Planes are just not built for tall folks.
The airport system can't really handle what it wasn't designed for. Terror that is. The state of constant terror takes what should be a simple action of traveling into a new level of over doing everything. Ohare airport is crazy, I was lucky to get back home even with the 2hrs lead time i gave myself to get on my flight back. Sooooo many frickin people, even then I somehow ended up on semi stand by service. That confuses me. I paid to get a seat but I dont really have one.
Ahhh well, sit back and enjoy that $7 rum and coke. Ouch!
What's next.. hmmm i'm pondering the idea of a beach, vegas or or something. I'm also looking at getting back to chicago to see the chicago paul gang and attend a confrence sometime in october.
The idea of cramming myself on another plane doesnt grab me at the moment.
So lets talk about what I learned.
- Programmers come in multiple flavors.
- Lucent has alot of empty buildings in Chicago.
- Chicago has alot of biz dev potential.
- Tarus, Jaguar, Impala, they all suck for big people.
- Delphi makes a nice GPS mobile navigation unit, supposedly circut city has them for $500.
- The hiptop/sidekick was fun to have again, gotta rework the email send/recieve on it, but overall I really enjoyed having it out in the field. Maybe switch to it for now.
- I wonder if my flickr pro account can handle all the pics im about to upload...
- the wallstreet journal is a suprisingly refreshing read
Well its nice to get back to tunes and delicious linkage. I had many a good talk on social network apps and the research potential to use them for future studies. I'll dive into some of the new finds after i get settled.
