I was in Germany again this week. Tomorrow is a short photo-tour by car and then the flight home. Maybe some pics will appear here :)

Sony finally announce the end of the Trinitron CRT. Here is a link to its history, Gizmodo style.

I’ve often talked about retiring, hitching a boat to the back of my RV, and driving up U.S. Highway 50 just to have my turn [strike]pissing ...

Ah, the Red Lacquer Room (Lacquer, not Liqueur!)

So I took more shots of the Palmer House before I went home. I'll embed them this time :)

more pictures in the ...

... sorry 'bout that. I wanted to get on Central time so I went to bed early after taking some pics of my hotel - the Palmer House in Chicago. I attached the best below,

Today was the first full day of my conference. Lots of stuff floating around in my brain. (I hope the best stuff sticks around until after this Martini wears off) So, gotta watch Chuck and Heroes before I post more - it's nice being in the CDT timezone for TV watching :)
