Please warm up

I've been looking at camping books, web sites, asking other people about where they go, and any type of other research I can in prep for the coming Spring and Summer. I so want to do a little wilderness exploring, if you can call front country camping "wilderness" exploring. I think I'm even making a trip to the Coleman outlet today.

Bindi...

...it might be all but is it enough? According to Mindtree (an Indian company) it might be more than enough. Mindtree's analog integrated circuit is featured in the photo.

Normal?

I'm trying to get back into the swing of "normal" life, or what I'd like it to be anyhow. Played the first racquetball since sometime well before the holidays, sorting through some pictures from the recent LA trip, and deceiding what to do this weekend. Maybe the comic shop and pickup my subscriptions, dinner with friends, see a movie, grocery shop? Who knows but I want to be leisurely that's for certain.

Reporting in

Well I'm back and things went well after my last post. The show and pack out went well (and for pack out of the booth FAST). We made it to LA and had a couple of days full of meetings and visits. Since I got back I have been "hiding", getting those little bits of "alone" time that life allows and you need after a trip. Check flickr for the newest pictures and I'll be back soon.

Next to last day

After tomorrow I hope to be able to get back on and upload more pictures. NAMM deceided to check IDs more this year and the attendence on Saturday was down big time. Are these two related ? I can't say but it sure seems like it.

More problems

I think the connection here just isn't robust enough for all the current users so I can't seem to get any pictures uploaded right now. I'll do it the first chance I get, and by then I should have quite a few.

Delays

I tried to post the following last night but the connection here at the hotel was for crap -

"A long day in the convention center here in Anaheim, all of it spent waiting for two chairs, a table , and a podium. We got them about 7 tonight. Walked all over the convention floor while waiting, and took a lot of pictures. I'll try and sort the majority out later and put just the real stand outs up right now. High winds when we finally left the building (see flickr), we went to the hotel, grabbed a car and made for a local sushi joint, Tokyo Love! Wonderful place, great staff and equally great food. We ate way to much sushi. So far I think the product of the show might just be the "Guitar Hero" (a video game for those without children or gamers) controllers from Peavy. Show opens tomorrow more then."

Today was the first day of the show and traffic was light, I wish I could say the same for the guy at Ilio demoing the new piano synth, most everyone on that is ready to kill him. Went to Angelo's and Vinci's tonight, a NAMM tradtion now, good service, great food and a lot of fun. The some of the Waves guys went with (and they paid) and we all ate too much, drank wine, and had good time. MOre tomorrow I hope but this paying for internet is starting to hurt so no promises.
