Final Day of Geekdom

This is it. I have one remaining seminar (AppleScript for SysAdmins) in about an hour, and then I'm done. The rest of the day will be spent banging around the Bay with Todd, Cheryl, and the inimitable JellyBean, following by a few hours reading Pattern Recognition, and then I'm on my way home tomorrow morning.

Yesterday was the Apple Campus Bash. They carted us down to Cupertino (about an hour drive) in busses, fed us well, provided suitable quantities of beverages (adult and otherwise), and subjected us to a very loud and not entirely inspiring band. The Apple Campus Store operated at firecode capacity the entire time, with developers and othersuch (myself included) snapping up Apple logo merchandise. Fed, beered, sunned, merched, and deafened, we were returned to the streets of San Francisco.

I've been trying to keep in regular touch with Jenni via email and phone while away - I miss her and Nathan terribly. Being without a house partner for the week is, I think, starting to wear upon her - there's a certain edge of desperation starting to creep into my dear wife's voice. When I come home, I don't know what I'll be greeted for more: the return of her partner, the return of her bed-warmer, or the return of someone who can amuse, feed, and change our boy.

Probably all of the above. That's what it's all about, after all...
