Drinking from a Firehose, Listening to a Drum
I've been trying to keep up with the stuff being thown at me, post regular entries, but glancing in my Notes directory reveals a lot in raw brain dump format waiting to be translated into a more formal structure.
This has been exciting becuase it's a chance to spend three days thinking about little more than better ways to do things. Besides my Notes directory, my Ideas directory has seen the most activity. I'll be getting this all posted as soon as possible.
Last night, Mom, Dean, and I attended a performance of Kodo, the pre-eminent taiko group from Japan, at the McFarlin Auditorium on the SMU campus. If I write about it, I will certainly be accused of exaggerating, becuase of my overuse of superlatives. It was fantastic. Contrasting this performance with performances I have seen in the past, elements of humor, subtle and not-so-subtle, were woven throughout the thundering tapestry of sound.

PyCon is On
I've made my reservations and submitted my registration. I'll be in Dallas in February for PyCon 2007. Looking over the list of events schedule, it seems like I won't have any problem filling my time.
There's a chance, I guess, that I'll be meeting with David Bavousett to talk about Open Source library software, too.
Aside from visiting Mom and Dean, and staying at her house (thanks, Mom), I plan to make a trip to the Kimball Art Museum for the ukiyo-e exhibition.
