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 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.

April continues to be busy. It is easy to say already that I have either worked a full day or traveled (often both) every single day of April 2016. And the month is not over.

I spoke at a conference in San Diego. Some quotes I thought about this week. "The best camera is the one you have with you"--- Chase Jarvis "Do the work you can't not do."--- Scott Dinsmore (Read this one very carefully.) "Your heart is where you tears are."--- Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) An art pic of a familiar view from the "plane train" in ATL airport. Pics from Tijuana Mexico. I have a brand new passport. Just breaking it in.
