I’m angry, I’m motivated and now I’m building a posse – one awesome dude at a time.

Right now Phil is in Perth, Australia. Looking at the aviation weather for the airport there:

YPPH 260730Z 11016KT CAVOK 41/09 Q1010 NOSIG

That’s 41C, or about 106F. And the airport right by my house:

KBED 260656Z AUTO 32011G18KT 10SM CLR M16/M23 A2980 RMK AO2 SLP109 T11611233

That’s -16C or 3.2F. A spread of 57C or 103F.

Talk about managing to miss winter!

luis!

Finally, my badgering of our legal department has finally paid off in a tangible way! I think you’ll have a great time. Our legal department is filled with incredibly good people. The kind of lawyers that don’t like lawyers. Always a good sign. I hope that it as good as I believe it can be. And we’re always in the middle of interesting things, so you might get some exposure to some pretty neat stuff, and some amazing thinkers.

That’s what a cold looks like. Captured in time, forever.

It seems like every time I travel somewhere interesting, I get sick. First it was India, then Brazil and now Australia. The pattern is this: I go for about 3 days and then on the 4th day, I feel like crap. On the last two days I get to hang around my hotel room hiding from the rest of humanity. This trip has been no different, sadly. I just hope I didn’t get anyone else sick by being at the conference the first few days.

planet site for one laptop per child

We’ve finally gotten around to setting up a planet site for the One Laptop per Child project. We’re going to be posting regular updates about what’s going on with a lot of different voices around the project. You can also join the One Laptop per Child group at Mugshot and track it that way, along with all your friends.
