I hate it when I close down my browser before I save the article I'm working on.

ergh.

Let me try this again - given that I've only got about five minutes to recreate the post that took me 20 minutes to write and then lose :(

(grunt, ergh)

Anyways...the trip in took a lot longer than I thought it would - more than 12 hours door to door. Even though it was late in the afternoon, I did manage to get in some brief sightseeing and rented a mountain bike - which I managed to fairly trash when I ripped the crankshaft off on a rock coming back from Heavenly (one of the local ski hills).

I also managed to trash my cellphone somehow - if your Treo ever gives you a "Fatal Exception Error" message - believe it. Mine did, tried to reboot and now lies lifeless back up in my hotel room.

The rest of the day is meetings and get togethers with various people. Dinner with my fellow panelists later this afternoon including Jason Shellen, Scoble, Dave Taylor, Nick Bradbury and Adam Kalsey followed by drinks at the official Gnomedex reception - should be a panic.

I'm staying in room 1028 at Harrah's through Monday if you need to get in touch.
