Road Trip

I am back from my most recent roadtrip. I loaded up the Tesla and started letting the hands-off Full Self Drive (FSD) supervised take me to points North. First stopping in a campground in Tennesee and up to Pittsburgh for the CIDM Convex Conference (which was the best conference in years). There was a celebration of the 20 years of DITA XML. I was an earlier adopter. My presentation went well and I semi-stealth launched wisdomino. I demo'd some extra cool software we developed and will be selling in weeks to come. It's truely game changing. Of course, there will be much more than that to come. After that it was on to Franklin, PA. to meet with some colleagues in the mining division and onto the farm stopping in Olean NY for the night. I am pretty sure it was the first time I had driven across the entire Allegany National Forest. I ended up driving through the very dark forest expanse during a night time thunderstorm. Although I normally trust the Tesla FSD on the Interstat...

Here is a public domain picture I snagged of the Penguin rookery at Cape Royds. We have some radio equipment there, maybe I will get up there. There is a Shackelton hut up there from the Nimrod expidition.

Work seemed particularly busy today. I was in a weather satelite radome for a while and worked on all sorts of other problems with a huge varity or radios and problems. It tired me out today.

I am still thinking quite a bit of why I am here. It is not obvious yet. I have had some great insight and inspiration, but there is more. I know there is. There is a very clear purpose that has led me here. It will become clear. I will go to the library again tonight.
