So instead, here’s a photo of me about to leave work for the day.

Happy Monday, everyone.

Stopped on my way home to take a photo. Ottawa is such a beautiful city at night.

The wifi and cell networks here are absolutely terrible, but I’ll try to keep in touch whenever I can find a proper pipe.

Some highlights so far (you can see all the Austin photos on my Flickr):

Austin Airport

My hotel.

First session of the day.

....or did it?

…and how could I not visit THE MUSEUM OF THE WEIRD?

It went over really well, and it’ll be up on SlideShare once the video/audio archives are up at PodCamp so I can stitch it all together.

I spent a fair amount of the trip feeling ill, and to my horror, I’ve realized that I always started feeling sick about twenty minutes after having a few cups of coffee. Caffeine is one of my most treasured addictions, and I don’t know how easily I would be able to function without it. I don’t think there has ever been a period in my life where I was caffeine-free.

…

I’d like to go back and spend some more time wandering the city once it warms up a bit. I think I’m slowly coming to terms with my relationship with Toronto. We’ll never be what we were, but I think we could learn how to be friends.

A quiet moment from last Tuesday at Zaphods.

Tried to shake it off and went down to the grand re-opening of the Mayfair Theatre, where the restored 35mm print of Metropolis was playing, with live music for the score.

The lineup was already at the end of the block by the time I got there, and after an hour in the cold we were told that no one else was getting in, they had been at capacity since 6PM or so.

Then everyone else in line left and we got in. (Standing room only, 124 minutes running time.)

Took a few photos on the way home, none of them really turned out well, sadly.

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons

Would like to write more, but don’t have the words tonight.

Soon.
