With everything going on right now I was going to take a pass on Austin this year, even though I’ve been tightly clutching my tickets and counting days since last Fall.

Jasmine however is wonderful, and set me straight, and I’m arriving tomorrow morning, perhaps a little discombobulated, and worse for the wear, but excited. See you there! (now I just need to deal with the fact that I already refunded my plane ticket, and hotel res., and I’m out of clean socks)

All of which brings me to the question, what the hell is up with the 5pm timeslot on Saturday. Who thought it was a good idea to have Kathy Sierra, danah boyd, and Tantek Celik cross scheduled. Bah.
