OMG—It's so good to be home.
Las Vegas was both better than I expected it to be and just miserable. I'm sure I had fun only because I ran into so many friends who were there for Blackhat and Defcon. But, it was hot and crowded. And, ten minutes by the pool gave me tan lines.
We did go through the Star Trek Experience and I bought a Starfleet Academy t-shirt for myself and my sister. We saw a Ferengi as we ate lunch at Quark's Bar. I did not have a Warp Core Breach, however. Even in Vegas, 11AM is entirely too early to start drinking. The museum is awesome. The "Borg Invasion" ride (I think that's what it was called?) was also surprisingly fun. And, apparently the Star Trek Convention began today. In previous years, the three conventions coincided on the same weekend. Can you just picture it? Hackers and Klingons and Vulcans traipsing through the casinos? Maybe next year.
I'm very happy to be back home though—catching up on emails and rss feeds... And finding in my mailbox: Interweave Knits Fall 2007, Rowan 42, and Classic Elite Uptown Knitting. Yay!
Such a backlog of things I want to post... More pictures and updates soon!
