This is turning out to be an interesting conference ....

Good work, Ricky, and glad you're enjoying the conference!

I think I'm going to have some time to play with Evernote today. I'm also thinking about whether the Livescribe system would be a good one for my 17-year-old. She does sometimes miss stuff, and I think it would help her, but I'm not sure she could keep track of the pen.

Looking out the window of my hotel room, I have a pretty good view of the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta. The funny part of this view is that the big red glowing sign on the top of the building says "Ma". That's it. Just "Ma". Think I should call and tell them they need to contact the sign repair company?

EDIT: I couldn't resist. I called the Marriott and told a very nice gentleman about the sign. Hopefully he'll send someone outside to look up and verify that I'm not some crazy woman making crank calls.

heeheehee ! i think you should call them back and tell them "now it says 'eat at joe's' !" or "the end of the world is nigh !" or something like that.

then half an hour later call back and invent something completely different.

that would be hilarious. let us know what you come up with.

(what do you mean "just how old are you anyway ?")

Just got into work, drinking som coffee and trying to find the motivation to actually do some work instead of just reading all the posts that have come into MR over night

montsnmags · 09-29-2008, 04:08 AM

Getting kinda drunk, watchin' the twilight over the hinterland hills of Cooroy and Tinbeerwah and Noosa River, and listening to some old band singin' 'bout a tranny. Sitting warm and stupid in a weeping haze and daze.

Cheers and beers,
Marc (drinking champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola)

Watching "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones". This episode has a literary theme. Young Indy meets Ernest Hemingway and Edith Wharton.

Lying in bed in a hotel room in The Woodlands, watching Elsie make screenshots on her Kindle.

Also, thinking about eating yet another chocolate bar ... or maybe the bag of M&Ms I brought. Tough decision there.

I'm thinking my eyes may be too tired to read much tonight, although more chocolate might help that too .....

Winding up the evening with a little MR reading and then planning to read on the iLiad for a while, then go to sleep.

RickyMaveety · 10-05-2008, 09:26 PM

Watching "Family Guy" and then I'm going to read a while and then crash. I am so glad they started a new season. Great show.

Sitting in a hotel room, posting on the mobile site and trying to avoid the reading for the conference tomorrow.
