Gotta write fast…I think. My computer has been freezing up lately, I’m not sure exactly why, but I’ve had it serviced twice and it’s still going on…I’ll have to do some real deep analysis when I get back to Indiana.

Speaking of which, I’m headed to Vegas this afternoon with P, S, and others. We’ll be at CES, the big, huge annual celebration of Consumer Electronics. To tell the truth, I’m not all that excited about CES in this, my third year as an attendee. What I am looking forward to is hanging out with some friends from SD in Las Vegas.

The actual electronics are never really spectacular. Maybe it’s just because I’m kinda thinking about future technologies all the time, but the stuff that’s due to come out in 6 months just isn’t all that exciting when compared to the stuff that’s due out in 10 years or so. It’s generally all for show…nobody is pushing ‘new’ technologies, rather they’re showing off the ‘dumbed-down’ versions, generally with weak user interfaces that the geeks at the show thoroughly enjoy. I’ll report on what I see over the weekend next time.

On Sunday evening I’ll be waiting at McCarran Int’l Airport for my redeye flight back to Indianapolis, and I should get back to Bloomington on Monday an hour before my first class. I wonder if I remembered to leave a change of clothes in my office…

To all you Hoosiers, see you soon. All you Tritons, see you sooner. Everybody else, be well.
