Rusty

Update: They turned it around in classic Sox fashion, the boys are back in town. woot.

It's a little after 6:30 in the AM. I am not sure WHY exactly but I find myself on my couch watching the Red Sox 2007 home opener.

The Red Sox look super rusty -- that could be due to the fact that they are not even done with spring training yet! I can't tell you the reasoning for having the Red Sox play two official games in Japan before returning back to the US and playing 3 more spring training games but none the less they (especially Matsuzaka) look completely uninspired.

I think they Yankees had a similar schedule a few years back when they did their tour of Japan and that caused them to get off to a very slow start -- hopefully this does not repeat itself.

It's only the bottom of the 2nd inning (bases loaded) so hopefully they will turn things around.

So Its been a whirlwind of a week. SXSW was a great experience and know then next time down there how better to prepare myself. SXSW is not about the conference –it's totally about the people and connecting.

If you are interested in a few good Pod-casts (when they come online) look for the following...

  • Derek Featherstone’s “All I know about accessibility I learned from star wars”
  • "Browser Wars"
  • "Javascript Framework Secrets"

Thanks to everyone out there that made it special .. you know who you are.

Last night I also went to the Markup and Style Society's meet-up in Boston .. it was awesome. Dan and Ethan put together some panels and also some giveaways. Also free Beer and Pizza -- you cant beat that!

The guys from Filament group offered up their space but more importantly their knowledge. Scott gave a great presentation about Progressive Enhancement.

Check out some of their great development lab at http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab

So its been a while (2,760 hours or 122 days), I know. How’s your mom? Did you ever get that rash cleared up? Good.

A lot of things have been going on for me both personally and professionally (Its funny how my hiatus coincides with the release of Call of Duty 4 for xbox360 -- totally unrelated) but currently I am sitting in a hotel room in Austin Texas during Day Two of the South by Southwest Interactive Conference.

I think my geek juices ran dry – but meeting all these great people, seeing some old friends and being part of some great panels I think has reignited my inner geekdom. Lucky you.
