i’m blogging this

O’Reilly LogoI L.O.V.E. a good t-shirt.
And Jennifer was wearing one tonight.

“I’m blogging this” on the front.

It was geek-tastic.

As I was chatting with her, I had to glance to the back of her t-shirt. See if there was anything there. Indeed there was. www.oreilly.com My first thought was Blender Rebublican Extraordinaire found a cool shirt from Bill O’Reilly? He’s the anti-Elvis; he’s got no cool.

But, in my several years of non and under-employment, I forgot about the best manual publisher ever. O’Reilly. I love reading technical manuals more than any geek I know. And O’Reilly does ‘em good.

Hmm, I think I’ll go curl up with a good perl or sendmail right now.

SXSW T-2 days

The last several years I’ve payed for the wristband, had many excess hours to plan, read, and sceme, and written email updates almost daily. I won’t be doing that this year. I’m going the cheap experience - which is just a rich, but different.

And what updates I do manage, I will do on LJ, instead of email.

I’ll be getting into Austin sometime during the day on Thursday. The combination of Work (which I now have), Flying Fish Sailors (which I feel the need to see), The Big Top (where I love to be), and St. Patricks Day (which I haven’t been in town for for 3 years) will keep me here wednesday night.

Thursday, I drive. Perhaps with a Shiloh stop or two (see info elsewhere). If I get into Austin early, I’ll need an in-store plan. If I get there 6ish - that’s when UT has their first game - and I’ll be meeting up somewhere to watch.

My only other current plans (not enough time to research - see “Work” above) include Fri afternoon on S. Congress for the Allen Oldies. Friday late night at the Parish club (if it’s not too expensive, or too crowded). Sat morning at Continental Club - Mojo hosts 10am till 6pm.

No other ironed out plans currently.
