I'm Back
Told you earlier I was traveling and enjoyed a nice respite from the day to day issues of life. I wandered first to LabMan a technincal services conference held this year at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY that deals with how to develop and maintain public computer labs on college campuses. It was interesting and somewhat educational even if I was surrounded by people who only lacked the Chewbacca or Darth Vader costume to feel right at home at a Star Wars convention.Next it was off to Atlanta (or Hotlanta as they called it the last time I was there) for the ResNET Conference held at Georgia Tech. Not quite the nerd fest LabMan was but still a fair number of people best suited for jobs ummm errrr ahhh shall we say out of the public eye. Unbelievably while there were 300 plus people there I get photo'd in the dinner line. Luckily it's my best side. mmmm BBQ Ribs...... No I haven't any idea what that thing on the table is. It wasn't edible.
Finally I (and 20 other friends and family) were off to the Creation Festival in the middle of nowhere PA. 4 days and nights of music, friends and HEAT. Well okay 3 days of heat. Saturday was nice. Promised the kids we would go every year till they all graduated high school so I have one more year to go and then we'll see. It was very crowded this year and seemed a little more commercial then ever as after 4 days we figured out that Jesus prolly would drive a Scion, go to Liberty University and play an Ibanez guitar. I'm not sure what T-shirt He would wear but based upon popularity of the festival attenders it would most likely be the "Abortion is Mean" shirt. A simple two color shirt that describes what ? Abortion maybe mean but that seems to be the least of what it is. How about sad, consequential, final or maybe dare I say selfish.
Finally on the way home we stopped to get gas and relieve pressured bladders and I saw this.
Seems familiar ?
