Spent the morning banging my head against this machine. I actually have two demos next week. One on The Really Big Project and one of my making. My idea for the of my making we'll call Project B. I spent all day wondering how, just how, I managed to royally blow up The Really Big Project. I mean, it would't even initiate.

I figured I was gonna have to pull an all nighter when 11am rolled around and the masses (ie., the two children) were stomping and demanded to leave for the day at The Zoo, I pulled the plug and chalked it up to a long day tomorrow.

The Zoo was okay. It felt like those same kids did nothing but complain about how their legs hurt, it was hot, they were thirsty, nothing was out, this was stupid. I'm sure they didn't but, man, the moments of bright learning and awe are dimly shrouded by those of the much more memorable whining. The Zoo was on my firm so admission, all the bus rides and skyfari, lunch, face painting, airbrush tattoos, dessert and drinks were on them. It made The Zoo a bit more bearable because I think it has gotten outrageously expensive.

Tomorrow I'm off to Florida. Not bringing the camera although I almost feel like I should in lieu of the yoga mat. I'm not bringing the yoga mat. That would be stupid. I can't use it nor should I use it.

See I can follow directions.

Now let's see if I don't make an ass out of myself in front of the masses of uber tech geeks like our own CIODude.

Speaking of which... today I looked up ISP hits on my blog. I've never actually done this before and I found it fascinating. Like that someone from X Organization reads my blog. I always feels slightly nervous when it's someone from some professional organization I know... like today I noticed some hits from a certain law firm. The first name is a person's name and one of the middles a often-times cold dark place. If you're an IT person, say hello in Florida should you be going. I don't know why nervous... just that I guess there is this huge chasm between who I am professionally and who I am personally. It sucks to say that but it's true.

I wonder what the world would be like if we didn't have to be different professionally.

Today at The Zoo, one of the attorneys hugged me hello. That was nice and different... One of the partners asked about my tattoo... they quoted The Gita even... "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." Says Krishna to Arjuna a nd apparently Oppenheimer when he witnessed the detination of the first nuclear bomb.

Trippy.
