Now, this is fog.
On a foggy Friday morning, with a zillion things to do and having to go into work at the newspaper early, it’s good to see that the weather is cooling off for this weekend.
Actually, I exaggerate when I say there are a zillion things to do — maybe 10 to 15 this morning at the most — but really there’s not a lot to do from here on in. Fliers are out, the word is out, another blurb in the paper would be nice, and remotely possible. I wanted to get just one more letter out to people saying, essentially, “It’s time,” even if it’s hand delivered, but that’s unlikely at this point. We’ve done all we can do up to now and it’s now time to get the show on the proverbial road.
Speaking of on-the-road, Stephen Rufle of Open Animals is on his way up from Phoenix. If you’re reading this on Friday evening, Ken Starks, the highly esteemed Helios, is on a plane from Austin-to-Las Vegas-to San Francisco, with express orders not to stay in Vegas any longer than it takes to switch planes. Stephen and Ken will join a whole host of gurus and greybeards — a group of locals who stepped up after reading an article in the paper, a contingent from Cabrillo College (go Seahawks) that includes someone I consider the guru-est of gurus, Cabrillo professor Jim Griffin, all the way to Kai Tamkun, the 11-year-old wunderkind who’s going to show folks how easy Mandriva is to install and tweak.
[In all fairness, Kai's a little more advanced than your average 11-year-old, but he makes a good case that if kids can do it, so can you.]
We’re on our way.
If you’re interested in watching something I would like to have looping at the events (although I don’t know how I’m going to swing it), there’s the Red Hat “Truth Happens” video here, which I watch often — to the point where my daughter asks me, “Dad, are you watching that again?”
Yep. And if it can sway me, I think it can sway others toward the inevitablility of truth happening.
64 — that’s more like it — and foggy.
