Well, me made it through the airport security safely enough. Lesson to the potential traveller: checked baggage is for suckers.
So, we sit, and I get to burn out me PDA’s battery blogging and checking email while the indomitable Quinn reads PC gamer.
Gotta love the limited airport newsstand: No Electronic Gaming Monthly, no UK Linux journals, and nary a copy of William Gibson’s seminal “Mona Lisa Overdrive”.
I can’t see how this place ever hopes to turn a profit. Maybe those Governator shirts are flying off the rack?
Oh well, back to reading Wired. Are they cool again?

Well, it’s been awhile, but here’s my blog, yet again. Cool huh?
Hopefully this iteration outlasts the old one, which was seeing an update, on average, every 6 months. Exciting!
Anyways, the big push for getting this blog up and running is my pending trip to Japan. How pending? 11 hours, 45 minutes, to be precise. Me and my Japan buddy Quinn will be travelling Lite©, carrying naught but two carry-on suitcases, and a satchel.
Electronics? My Becky’s camera, my spiffy little N800, a folding keyboard, and a Gameboy DS. So, my choice of blog-thingy (WordPy), kinda-phone (Skype), and MP3 player is going to be this N800. We’ll see how this goes.
As a geeky aside, it took all of 20 minutes to convert the 8-bitDesign.com template to Wordpress, which is ten kinds of awesome. That gives me all the more time to blether away here before I need to leave the country.
11 hours, 35 minutes. Better get some sleep in time to get to drive my weary ass down to LAX!
